Green Mountain Electric Supply created our Management Training Program to develop future leaders of our company. GMES has since hired several employees into the program where they learn all aspects of the business. The program focuses on experiencing all positions within the company. Time is spent being on the road with our drivers, to our warehouse learning all the processes in receiving, shipping, wire cutting, cycle counting, and truck loading. The trainees move over into the sales portion of the training where they become counter sales employees. This allows them the opportunity to understand a variety of sales before heading into learning  inside sales, projects/quotations, and project management. To round out the program trainees work with the corporate team at GMES and learn functions in Human Resources, Accounting, Training, Safety, IT, Inventory, Pricing, Purchasing, and Marketing. 

Through the process employees find a part of the company that they enjoy and excel in. We’ve had employees graduate from our Management Training Program and move into positions in Corporate and Branch Management. We are very proud of this program and what it has become.  Our industry is quite technical, and this program teaches the trainees the knowledge necessary to be successful in the future while also teaching them the various aspects of our business.

"Each step of the program has become an extremely important building block for my career here. From my first day waking up at 2am to ride along with a transfer driver to managing our Plattsburgh branch, I’ve enjoyed challenging myself and growing with GMES."   "The Management Training Program has given me a strong foundation in the electrical industry and has given me a lasting career in the most rewarding ways."   "Learning about this industry through the Management Training Program prepared me to take upon a key role with a better understanding of the business."
