Champ = Chevron Advanced Management Program. Once a year about 40 people from across the company go through it (or used to anyway). Was good, especially the field trip!

What’s champs?
People are confusing ELP with FLP.
ELP is a 1-week conference, where you get some soft skills on how to be a first-line supervisor.
FLP is where you are selected and get consistent PSG bumps/new jobs every 18 months
Emerging Leaders? At Chevron??? Oxymoron
D&I hi pots
If you don’t know what ELP is, you are not in it. It is invitation only. You may be able to dig up names by searching old outlook group names, like ELP2020 etc.
No one cares. This is thelayoff.com. Stay focused.
It's a high-pot convention. Lots of preening and posturing.
Emerging leaders or future leaders is the a-s kissing, powerpoint engineering, run your mouth rocket ship club. Those ppl go up a psg every year or two. If you ain’t an FL, your career is mostly likely to top out at psg 24-25 max. Basically a career sponsorship club to get face time with exec level ppl.
I don’t think it exists anymore. High-pots used to go for a networking conference with 50-60 other high-pots from around the company. You meet the ceo and have a nice dinner. Then 90% of the people in the group go to other companies. At least that’s what happened to my group in ~2014. ELP was the foundation for the next level for those fast-tracked to greatness. I think it was called Future Leader. There’s another “leader” thing for those tapped to be execs. There’s three tiers to the pyramid scheme.
It used to be important on your go-400, but it doesn’t get a lot of attention these days. I may be wrong about it all. I’ve become pretty jaded to corporate america.
