CAREER COACH

The long road to success is not without its trials; fortunately, in the Xpress Path program you won’t be going it alone.

By providing individual coaching sessions to help you succeed in applying the lessons to your specific environment, your Xpress Path Career Coach will help give you the tools needed to lead a high performing team.

MENTOR

Translating classroom knowledge into practice isn’t without its own set of challenges, and quite often boils down to learning by trial and error. However, with a mentor even professionals can benefit from the experiences and expertise of someone who has made mistakes and can help you avoid the same errors. Similarly, those new to the industry will discover that having a mentor shortens the learning curve for acquiring the skills and knowledge most critical for a successful career. Your mentor will help create opportunities for learning, push you to excel, and will advise you on how to become an integral part of the leadership succession plan.
