Return to Work with Lockheed Martin’s Chapter Next Program
At Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems (RMS), we understand that sometimes we must pause our professional life to support our family and loved ones. After stepping away from the workplace to care for children, aging parents or other family obligations, the road to return to work can be challenging, and at times intimidating. This is where Chapter Next can be part of your solution.
Chapter Next is a 12-16-week paid returnship, that aligns participants with a role that best compliments their skills and abilities. As a “returnship” participant you will become part of a community of similarly experienced professionals with challenging work scopes who are contributing to Lockheed Martin’s culture of innovation. Selected candidates will be exposed to comprehensive training, professional development opportunities, networking opportunities, and individual-based mentoring to support their re-entry.
Our end goal is to prepare participants for full-time opportunities whether that be at Lockheed Martin or elsewhere. You will potentially have the opportunity to apply for a full-time role at Lockheed Martin after your “returnship”.
We are currently hiring for our Chapter Next “Return to Work Program” in various locations.
*Based on program needs, most positions will require the need to obtain a secret clearance. Security clearances will require the participant to be a U.S. Citizen and would require the participant to go through a very thorough background check and possibly be finger printed.
