We cover the cost of all approved professional certifications and provide tuition reimbursement that pays 100% of tuition, books, and fees for approved courses.
We support our employee's continued growth and development by posting current job openings both internally and externally.
Voyage to Excellence Program
We also support employee advancement with our Voyage to Excellence development program, which consists of five individual paths: Embark, Explore, Elevate, Ascend, and Apex.
Our Embark path encompasses new employee orientation and onboarding. The path begins on an employee’s first day and is designed to acclimate an employee to their new role, the company culture, mission, core values, and organizational structure.
Our Explore path focuses on supporting the development of our individual employees through continuous skill development, networking and collaboration, and career development.
Our Elevate path is designed for employees identified as having high potential and provides opportunities for employees to grow their internal network and to develop identified competencies needed for our future leaders to be effective and successful.
Our Ascend path is geared toward our new people leaders and provides the foundation for employees to develop essential leadership skills, emotional intelligence, critical thinking skills, and quality decision-making skills.
Our Apex path supports our mid-level and senior-level leaders and focuses on developing and nurturing advanced leadership skills.
