Roles of Others in the Program

The Store Managers in training stores act as coach and mentor to the Trainees as they advance through the training. As such, the Manager is responsible for providing the instruction opportunities required by the program and for assisting in the training communication. He/she will also be required to sign off on all in-store training modules and provide feedback on a candidate’s readiness for advancement.

The Regional Managers for home stores act as counselor and advisor to Trainees. They will also assist in the evaluation of the candidate's progress and readiness for advancement.

The Training Department Team along with many content experts from the Headquarters Offices conduct all classroom training, administer testing and facilitate the final assessment process.
