GRP’s Acquiring Talent Program is designed to identify high-potential leaders who

What positions are available?

Positions include but are not limited to roles in the functional areas of Engineering, Operations Management, Alcoa Business System (ABS), Finance, and Human Resources.
|
|
How do I apply for a position in the program?
|
Openings in the program, as well as application instructions, are posted on a dedicated
page on Alcoa’s website: www.alcoa.com/talent. For internal candidates, please remember
that prior to applying you should have a discussion with your current manager and
your local human resources manager. Internal candidates will not be contacted until
we have made the appropriate contacts with your local management.
|
|
What is the selection process for positions in the program?
|
Once it is determined that a candidate meets the minimum eligibility requirements,
the standard assessment consists of a comprehensive analysis of each applicant’s
responses in a career achievement profile, interview results, relevant work experience,
and ability to be globally mobile.
|
|
What are the benefits of participating in the program?
|
These high-powered developmental assignments will position “graduates” of the program
to be successful in critical roles within GRP, and will provide a unique, rewarding
career experience.
|
|
Will I have the opportunity to relocate?
|
Global mobility is a important aspect of this program. Because GRP is a global business, we expect our leaders to embrace the opportunity to accept assignments abroad to understand the cultures, communities, and environment in which our operations reside.
|
|
What happens when I’ve completed my time in the program?
|
Each successful candidate entering the program is presented with a “road map” that
outlines his/her various assignments in the program. The final assignment will be
the member’s “target position.” At this point and where applicable, the member is
transitioned back into the existing Alcoa procedures and policies for job transfer
and eligibility.
|
|
What is the compensation structure for the program?
|
Alcoa provides a competitive total rewards package consisting of base salary, variable
pay and benefits, as well as key recognition awards and programs.
The purpose of this program is to grow individuals into jobs of increased accountability
and commensurate rewards. Internal candidates entering the program will, at a minimum,
remain at their current job grade; external candidates will be assigned a job grade
based on their skills and experience, with appropriate compensation. For all candidates,
future salary increases will be awarded based on job performance in the assignment.
Upon acceptance into the program, applicants will receive detailed information on
Transfer and Relocation processes specific to this program.
|
|
Will I participate in Alcoa’s standard Performance Management process?
|
Members of this program will participate in Alcoa’s standard Performance Management
process as well as supplemental, accelerated performance management with the purpose
of expediting the individual’s leadership development and growth.
|
|
Is this program only for those select few people that will get all the top assignments?
|
The program is not designed to develop a select group of candidates (“a chosen few”)
for all key positions. Traditional career paths will continue to be a critical component
of our overall Talent Management and Succession Planning Process.
|
|
For internal candidates, what job grade is needed to be eligible?
|
Internal candidates must currently be a job grade 16 or higher. The program is designed
to acquire, develop, and retain employees that have the capability of achieving
a leadership-level position.
