The 12-week Academy program will provide participants with a hands-on overview of Red River from all aspects of its business. These individuals will learn about Red River through the complete sales lifecycle – from creating proposal responses to developing solutions with DevOps and managing quarterly business reviews. This 360-degree view of the company provides participants with a jump start in building relationships, creating efficiencies and collaborating with other team members.
This year accepted 18 participants to the program, representing the major offices: Claremont, N.H., Reston, Va., Austin, Texas and Sacramento, Calif. Academy participants include recent college graduates and members of our military transitioning into new careers.
While all Academy participants follow the same curriculum, each comes to the program with a position in a Red River department, including Supply Chain, Business Operations, Project Management, Service Operations, Inside Sales and Customer Experience. Each participant is also paired with a mentor to guide them through their first year at Red River.
