Operations Leadership Program - Overview

"Operations" encompasses the core activities that make UTC a global leader in the industries in which we compete. Today, one of the most important undertakings at UTC is to take these activities and the talents of the people who perform them to the next level. We call it Operations Transformation. The goal is to help UTC maintain such a clear competitive edge that customers would be hard-pressed to do business with anyone else. Operations excellence is critical to UTC's success, and as an Operations Leader, you have a unique opportunity to be where the action is, at the heart of an endeavor that is one of UTC's highest priorities. The OLP program offers unique training and development opportunities to recent college and university graduates as well as UTC employees and focuses on career development while improving operations across UTC.
