At Lockheed Martin, we understand that experienced professionals sometimes need to take a career break. After taking a career break to care for children, aging parents or other family obligations, the road to return to work can be intimidating
That is why we developed the Lockheed Martin Rotary and Mission Systems Chapter Next program. This program provides a unique opportunity to re-engage and support experienced professionals as they launch their next career chapter after taking a two or more-year career break.
Our goal is to provide participants with the fundamental resources needed to be effective in their next career chapter and to potentially prepare participants for an opportunity to join Lockheed Martin full-time

When Jennifer found our Chapter Next program through a Google search, it was the push she needed to jump back into the workforce after 20 years of raising her family.
Today, she encourages anyone looking to return to work after two or more years away to take that leap and try the Chapter Next 12-16-week paid returnship. The program’s training, tools, resources and mentorship opportunities have provided many women and men with a smooth and successful transition back into the workforce.

"A year ago, I had never heard of a returnship. When I interviewed for Chapter Next, it was my first time interviewing in 27 years. The application process was very straightforward." – Marni K.
