Here’s what they have to say about the program.
-
“You’re actually put in a job — a job that needs to get done. So there’s accountability, there’s responsibility, and you really get to try something, and own something. It’s really foundational that you can accelerate that experience over a course of time and in so many different areas.”
– Adam, Greenleaf Foods
-
“I think the LTP program provides you with the opportunity to be in a leadership role or position extremely early in your career. At other places you have to earn that right–whether it’s supervision, project leadership, etc. The LT program gives you that experience up front and you’re going to use that as a base in any profession or functional path you choose.”
– Ryan, Greenleaf Foods
-
“I discovered how much I enjoyed being in an entrepreneurial type environment. I wouldn’t have known that as a graduate. So a benefit of the program is that you have an opportunity to find yourself in a way you may not have anticipated – I’m grateful to have had that opportunity because I probably wouldn’t have spent any time in sales otherwise.”
– Josh, Food Service Sales and Marketing
