Former TDC Co-Op
I really liked the atmosphere when I interviewed here. Everyone was really nice and was there to help if I needed anything. I wanted to be around a group of people that genuinely care about their jobs and love doing what they do. It doesn’t really feel like a job but more of a second home.
"More of a second home"
Stephanie Hill
Former TDC Co-Op and Current Employee-Owner
"What really stands out about my Co-Op experience is how much TDC has invested in me. The level of care and commitment to my personal and professional development has been unmatched. It’s not just about getting the work done, but about helping me grow and learn in a real-world setting.

for all our preconstruction and operations associates, we offer The Douglas Leadership Program.
At The Douglas Company, investing in the professional growth of our employee-owners is at the very core of our business. We believe that it's just as important as the clients that we serve every day. Our Douglas Leadership Program was designed with this in mind, offering learning and development opportunities on a progressive schedule to associates in the Preconstruction and Operations departments.
Learn more about the douglas Leadership Program
At The Douglas Company, we approach training and development with the intent to enrich the capacity of our associates to think, learn, act, and lead with integrity and wisdom. We believe that just as individuals must play a role in shaping their own professional careers, it's also the responsibility of organizations and their leaders to provide opportunities for employees to develop new skills and knowledge.
With this in mind, we developed The Douglas Leadership Program. The program takes professional development experiences and then takes it a step further by combining it with structured leadership. Through the DLP, we focus on enhancing the competencies and behaviors needed to support both our business goals and meaningful learning opportunities for our associates.
There are three components to The Douglas Leadership Program that are key to success: our proprietary Pathways to Success program, Monthly Cohort Meetings, and Department Meetings.
The douglas leadership program
Employee-owners are divided into two different cohorts -- the Emerging Leaders and the Advancing Leaders -- depending on how long they've been with the company. Meetings amongst the cohorts provide experiential learning opportunities for sharing both successes and challenges.
