Growing Great Employees
 

People provide us with our competitive advantage. They are the backbone of Agrium Wholesale. Offices, plants and equipment are our tools, but we differentiate ourselves with our people.

Agrium Wholesale has excellent opportunities for employee growth and development. We support employees with coaching and mentoring, and with a significant amount of support for training and education. This includes on-the-job training, such as regulatory compliance and safety training, as well as training specific to specialized occupations, such as steam tickets, operator progression, and apprenticeships.
 

“There is more to being a leader than just training. You also need mentoring and opportunity to test your skills. My opportunity came in the form of train-the-trainer exercises at the sites. The hands-on approach puts my learning into practice.”
– Ravinder P.

Engineer-in-Training (EIT) Program
 

Agrium Wholesale encourages the technical development process of our engineering employees. We believe that on-the-job training for engineers continues the technical base achieved at university, further, it supports our results oriented approach to success. As such, Agrium Wholesale has developed a four-year Engineer-in-Training (EIT) Program to combine both university and on-the-job experience for a well-rounded technical training.

EIT and new graduate recruiting begins in the fall.
 

Marketing and Sales Trainees
 

Agrium Wholesale’s Marketing & Sales Trainee Program develops new graduates into well-rounded business resources ready to step into a variety of areas within Marketing and Distribution. Participants develop the technical and/or professional capabilities along with a basic understanding of Agrium Wholesale’s businesses.

Program Length

The Wholesale Marketing & Distribution program is a two to four-year program, consisting of 4 job rotations.

Job Rotations

The majority of the employees’ training and development occurs on the job. The primary focus is to develop the employee through regular job rotations that provide exposure and experience in a variety of areas. The roles offer the opportunity to develop business, technical and leadership expertise.

The rotations are 3 - 6months in length, depending on the role/project, and are in the areas of sales, customer service, transportation and marketing. There is also one rotation outside of the Marketing and Distribution area in order to expose the employee more broadly to the business.

Mentoring

To further support program participants in their development, a mentor will be assigned to each new graduate to assist them throughout the program.
