The Manufacturing Leadership Development Program (MLDP) is our flagship global manufacturing graduate program at Merck.

Kick-start your career and get the opportunity to gain real-world experience while working on high-priority assignments! The MLDP is a three-year program, designed to give you experience in the core work necessary to manufacture and supply Merck’s products. Each employee will have three one-year rotations across our manufacturing division. Throughout the program, a deliberate learning and development plan is applied to supplement the rotational experiences, specifically to fortify professional and leadership skills.

You will receive coaching from senior leaders, exposure to real life manufacturing challenges and training from industry leading scientists and engineers. You will be contributing to significant projects and making key decisions that directly impact how we make pharmaceuticals and deliver them to our patients globally.

If you are passionate about launching a career in manufacturing, then we are eager to engage with you, focus on your development, and bring greater value to our patients worldwide.
