Last Wednesday marked an exciting milestone as we kicked off Day One Orientation for Pathway to Career Development (PCD), our inaugural professional development program, at the Orlando office. From 10 a.m. to 2 p.m., participants joined us to learn about the journey ahead and connect with their mentors, who will guide them throughout the program.
Lori Agudo, Director of Training & Talent Development, had the pleasure of opening the session, sharing an overview of the PCD program, and setting expectations for the months to come. Following this introduction, each participant was paired with one of our dedicated program mentors: Dave Kennedy, VP of Maintenance, Nic Price, Senior Regional Maintenance Specialist, and Francisco Santos, Regional Maintenance Specialist. To help our mentors and mentees lead with purpose, Sonya Knight, Director of Resident Services and Vanessa Erazo, Regional Manager (Miami office) conducted a mentorship training session, equipping them with the tools to support and inspire each other.
Kim Maggard, Executive Vice President, also shared words of wisdom and encouragement, motivating our participants to embrace the learning journey ahead. Lunch, generously sponsored by The Liberty Group, gave everyone an opportunity to relax, connect, and build camaraderie as a group.
Congratulations to our program participants: Jean Francois at Sunset Oaks, Eric McCrimmon Jr. at Sunset Oaks, Carlos Jones with Gardenia Gardens, Benjamin Derricotte at Holly Point, and Landon Price at Holly Point.
With eager participants and a supportive team of mentors, we are thrilled to launch this new program and see our employees develop their skills, achieve their goals, and grow with our organization. We are also looking forward to extending this program to other areas and positions in the future. This is just the beginning of a meaningful journey in career development, and we look forward to all the growth and success to come!
