Description

Summary:

CED’s Management Training program is for a national electrical distribution company who is privately held, with more than 700 locations within the US. Management Trainees are taught every aspect of CED’s business in order to run a multi-million dollar location upon completion of the training. Because trainees are handed the keys to their own location upon completion, trainees are driven and entrepreneurial minded.

On-the-job training lasts for 2-3 years and includes rotations in warehouse, counter sales, accounts payable, accounts receivable, financial statements, purchasing, inside sales, project management, inventory management and outside sales - all the ins and outs so that trainees are naturally conscious of how decisions in one area affect other people in the building. Throughout the program, trainees attend multiple classes in the following areas; electrical products, sales and management.

Classes are held throughout the country and facilitated by CED and its company partners. This training program helps to equip trainees to be future leaders in a company that puts all the power directly into the local managers so that they can make decisions that are best for their particular customers, employees, and community.

Opportunities exist in both commercial construction and industrial distribution.
