CAREER DEVELOPMENT MEDTRONIC CAREERS

JUST BE YOURSELF

Grow your career here

Getting comfortable with being uncomfortable is a sure sign that you are challenging yourself with projects, connections, and education to grow your career and enable personal success.

Learning and taking on new work grows your expertise and helps you navigate your career.

This is how we support your journey:

EXPERIENCES

We are a fast-paced industry; change is part of the way we work every day. We provide development through the day-to-day projects, assignments, and culture that expand your professional knowledge — and keep you up to date on ever-changing technology, systems, and processes. We encourage stretch assignments, job shadowing, informational interviewing, and networking so you can discover the many roles and paths within Medtronic.

  • Our Experience Café offers short-term stretch assignments where you learn by doing. Choose among global projects that need temporary help. It's an opportunity to try new things, expand your knowledge, and satisfy your career appetite.
  • The partnership between you and your manager is key to career growth and development and helps you maximize performance along your journey — identifying learning opportunities, creating an actionable development plan, and paving the way to your future success.
  • We honor our commitment to improving healthcare access in the communities struggling most to meet the demand. In a selective program, Medtronic employees from different regions and disciplines — working together for the first time — help local healthcare leaders find sustainable and scalable solutions for their communities.

MAKE CONNECTIONS

Our Mentoring program for all employees matches you with an advisor who can help you navigate your career — and you can be a mentor as well.

Employee Resource Groups build solid relationships across the businesses and connect you with career knowledge you can’t get anywhere else. You can connect with people across the company, join and lead teams, and attend career development events.
