Management Trainee – Non Exempt-DIV

CED's Management Training Program is the company's flagship development program for future leaders and salespeople with the goal of managing one of our business locations. It's designed to focus primarily on sales and leadership.

On-the-job training lasts for 2-3 years and includes progressive development phases in warehouse, counter sales, back office/operations, financial statements, purchasing, inside sales, project management, inventory management and outside sales. Throughout the program, trainees attend multiple classes in the following areas; electrical products, sales and management.

Training classes are held throughout the country and facilitated by CED and its company partners. This training program helps to equip trainees to be future leaders of CED.

Candidates must be willing to relocate in elsewhere in Minnesota or western Wisconsin during and after the training program as we are growing quickly and anticipate opening up new locations in Minnesota soon.
