Our mentors lead by example by bestowing patience and affirmation in order to forge new team members into confident new leaders capable of managing the divers challenges of the projects they take on.
Professional Development
Technical abilities are critical, but we more so value character. Technical abilities are teachable, but character development is much more difficult to cultivate. We like to identify applicants who have a spark, and then elevate their natural potential by working with fellow like-minded team members.

Upon arrival to the team, we assign training videos, assign you a mentor, and involve you in a current project so that you can begin gaining hands-on experience. We believe in training you in multiple skills at once and allowing those skills to naturally enhance one another. An individual’s growth in leadership is only limited by the individual themselves, there are no other ceilings on the Team.
