Ford Motor Company Employer Profile

Since 1903, Ford Motor Company has blazed new trails in both the automotive industry and the manufacturing world as a whole. It began as a dream to manufacture an automobile everyone could afford. And today, Ford extends well beyond the realm of automobile manufacturing and offers tremendous opportunities in just about every field imaginable.

Over the years, all of Ford Motor Company's achievements can be attributed to its professionals. Ford is committed to attracting, developing, and retaining employees from all backgrounds. Ford invests hundreds of millions of dollars annually on continuing education programs, with a goal that each employee receive a minimum of 40 hours of training per year. 

And this dedication to employees is really paying off. For instance, Working Mother magazine named Ford one of the 100 Best Companies for Working Mothers for three years in a row. 

With 111 plants in 38 countries, Ford is the world's largest manufacturer of trucks and the world's second-largest manufacturer of cars and trucks combined.

THE FORD COLLEGE GRADUATE PROGRAM

The Ford College Graduate Program or FCG program supports the company's goals to attract and develop talented college graduates. FCG programs are customized and tailored by many Ford functions, with emphasis placed on meaningful and challenging rotational assignments. Mentoring and performance evaluation are also important elements of the program. Programs offered throughout the company range from two to five years in duration. Prerequisites are stringent, but the rewards are worth it!
Candidates must be a recent graduate of a bachelor's or master's program, usually within the last two to five years; in the upper third of their graduating class; have appropriate degree levels and majors for positions being recruited by Ford; along with less than five years of relevant work experience.

As a FCG participant you will almost immediately be given work assignments that will test your abilities and potential.

Company paid orientation and training programs focus on creating customer-driven culture among all our employees. And, meetings of all FCG's within a particular function are also held to discuss operating methods and issues. 

Upon conclusion of the program, you will be placed in an appropriate assignment based on your interests, ability and company needs.
