Reimagine What’s Possible

Introduction to the CDP Program

• At Air Products, we invest early in people with the potential to grow, contribute, and shape the future of our business.
• The Career Development Program (CDP) is our flagship 3‑year rotational development program designed for high‑potential graduates at the start of their careers.
• As a CDP participant, you will complete three 12‑month assignments, gaining hands‑on experience across different roles, teams, and business areas aligned to your chosen track (Engineering, Commercial, Operations, or Functional). Each assignment is designed to build both technical depth and business understanding, while exposing you to how Air Products operates at scale.
• From day one, you will be trusted with real responsibilities, supported by structured development, and encouraged to actively shape your career path.

Program highlights

• Three structured 12‑month assignments over 3 years
• Clear development objectives and performance reviews
• On‑the‑job learning supported by formal training and mentoring
• Exposure to senior leaders and cross‑functional teams
• Start date: October 2026 (FY27 intake)

Your First Assignment

Your first assignment is designed to help you build great foundations, understand our business, and start delivering impact quickly.

Location: Based in Diegem (Brussels), within the Strategic Marketing & Growth Team, as a CDP you will support the business with the roll‑out of growth strategies across key geographies and development of new strength zones through organic and inorganic initiatives. Leveraging data‑driven analysis and structured market intelligence, the role identifies growth opportunities, shapes go‑to‑market strategies, and supports the sales teams in entering new segments.

You will:

• Support the deployment of the Northern Continent 5‑year growth plan, including strategic translation, follow‑up and KPI tracking
• Analyze markets, supply/demand dynamics, scenarios and competitor landscape to identify and assess growth opportunities
• Drive prospecting and lead qualification on targeted segments and new business opportunities, in close collaboration with marketing and sales
• Support new product launches, entry into new segments or geographies, and channel strategy reviews to ensure profitable growth
• Prepare regular analyses, reports and strategic recommendations on priority topics

You will be supported by an Assignment Manager, a Program Sponsor, and the wider CDP network.

What’s Next: Second & Third Assignments

In your second and third years, you will rotate into new assignments that:

• Broaden your experience across functions, businesses, or environments
• Increase your level of responsibility and autonomy
• Build on your strengths while developing new skills

Assignments are planned based on:

• Business needs
• Your performance and development progress
• Your interests and career aspirations

By the end of the program, you will be well‑positioned to transition into a permanent role within Air Products.

Why You’ll Love the CDP

We believe development happens best through stretch, support, and exposure. As a CDP, you will:

• Actively shape your career path rather than follow a fixed track
• Gain broad, hands‑on experience through multiple assignments
• Develop technical, interpersonal, and leadership skills through targeted learning
• Work on relevant, high‑impact projects from early in your career
• Build a strong professional network across regions, functions, and leadership levels
• Be supported by mentors, sponsors, and a close‑knit CDP community
