You are now starting on your development journey. The first step is identified as New Sales Engineers
Training or Onboarding. By completing this schedule of learning experiences, you are taking the first step
toward a successful career as a Nalco Water Sales Engineer.
This New Sales Engineers training program has been designed with one goal in mind: to help you develop a
