What You Will Do

The Accounting & Finance Rotational Development Program is a 2.5 year program that develops recent college graduates into future leaders of Johnson Controls (JCI). During the 2.5 year commitment, individuals rotate to new positions every 6 months in order to gain an overall understanding of the accounting and financial responsibilities within JCI as well as exposure to the various business models within the company. Rotations are primarily located in Milwaukee, WI, but there are positions outside of WI. Associates may have the opportunity to work at one of our plants within the U.S. as well as complete one of the six-month assignments internationally. Employees are challenged to take on additional work outside of their day-to-day responsibilities to gain further knowledge and increase their network within the company. Additional training and development opportunities are consistently presented to the employee and the expectation is that all opportunities will be taken. The program is managed by a steering team of finance leaders from within the company. At the end of the 2.5 year assignment, employees along with the steering team work to find employees their post-graduation role within the business.
