WORKING FOR SABIC IN THE MIDDLE EAST & AFRICA

FRESH GRADUATES

EARLY CAREER PROGRAMS

SABIC really invests in careers, offering an Early Career Program (ECP) to newly qualified graduates. We take a select number of graduates each year and invest in a robust development program that gives exposure to each function and its seniors leaders. The development program aims to build a foundation of expertise for our business through a combination of diverse assignments, rotations, and focused development.

The various ECP programs vary in length from one to two years and split into rotations in the key areas of the function in which a graduate works. Graduates are exposed to a range of experiences, such as on-the-job training, formal learning and development courses, coaching, and informal mentoring. In addition, we offer robust work assignments and networking opportunities. Click the link below for an overview of the ECP programs.

Within SABIC we have an ECP in the following functional areas:

• Manufacturing, EHSS, projects and engineering (SEeD)
• Finance (FDP)
• IT (ITEC)
• Procurement (SPEED)
• Supply chain (SCDP)

SABIC is looking to add more ECPs over the next couple of years in other key functions.

With the emphasis on rapid progress, our aim is to give you whatever training and support you need to step up from fresh recruit to fully qualified and competent professional, as quickly and cost-effectively as possible.
