Program Structure Sales EDGE Program Mentor (Entire Program) Each participant is assigned a Sales EDGE Program Mentor who provides ongoing development guidance, monitors progress throughout the program, and supports final placement decisions. The mentor focuses on the participant's long-term career development rather than daily work.

Rotation Mentor (Each Assignment) A Rotation Mentor provides day-to-day training, guidance, and feedback during each assignment and completes a structured evaluation at the end of the rotation.

Students will receive evaluations after each rotation. Permanent placement into a non-training role is typically expected within one year of starting the program. Placement timing and location will depend on business needs, available opportunities, and the trainee's skills, performance, and career interests.
