Accelerate Your Growth Program

Program Experience

Does your company hire employees right out of college? Do you have new hires who haven’t worked in a professional/corporate environment before? Accelerate Your Growth is for you! This program was designed to help new professionals more nimbly be able to contribute to their new job. This 2-week (6-8 hours per week) virtual program includes self-paced readings and learning opportunities in a variety of formats, including eLearning, videos, articles, case studies, and job aids – all geared to inform participants of what may be expected of them starting on day 1 and help them contribute in a meaningful way.

Each week includes a facilitated virtual meeting including all participants, where we dive deeper into topics, review case study responses, and discuss best practices and challenges related to the weekly content. Participants will also have ability to communicate directly with program peers via online discussion forums.
