The Manager in Training (MIT) Program is a multi-phase program that allows MIT Team Members to learn first-hand how to successfully lead within your area of expertise. Working hands-on and partnering with other internal team members, MIT Team Members will be exposed to a multitude of both trained and tribal knowledge.

The objective of the Manager in Training Program is to build future leaders and managers by providing hands-on, real-world training within the Home Building Group. We will accomplish this by ensuring the knowledge and skills it takes to add value within each facet of our facility – production, materials, sales, quality – as well as outside of our facility – Retail Home Center locations, our Home Office, trainings.

Manager in Training career paths include focus areas in Materials Management, Production Management, Sales Management, EHS Management, and Customer Care Management.
