The Management Trainee Program is a targeted 15-month program committed to cultivating and developing future leaders. The program is designed to challenge and grow individuals through a series of core components including on-the-job training, online learning, assigned senior leadership mentors, peer coaches, formal leadership classes, and other avenues for learning. This program is best suited for candidates interested in pursuing a purpose-driven career as frontline managers. The Management Trainee Program offers specialized tracks in Sales & Service, Supply Chain and Red Classic Transportation. Participants go through a series of 4 to 8-week learning rotations to provide hands-on experience with each stage of our value chain, from product creation to consumption. The rotations focus on manufacturing, warehouse operations, sales and delivery, equipment services, and other support functions. Trainees are expected to travel to other areas within the territory to learn from various leaders. Before beginning each rotation, Trainees are assigned a peer coach and a clear set of learning objectives. At the end of each rotation, Trainees will report on how they met the objectives and offer business recommendations based on their experience. Trainees will participate in 4 leadership development summits where the cohort gathers to collaborate, learn critical people management skills, and build business acumen. Upon completion of the 6 learning rotations, Trainees enter a 9-month interim supervisor rotation to hone people management skills and apply learnings from the program. Throughout the program, each participant will be assessed on the completion of learning objectives and leadership feedback. Upon completion of the Management Trainee Program, future placement within the organization will be based on performance assessments, skillsets, and business needs. Other duties as assigned.
