IRVINE, Calif. ― Advantage Solutions is partnering with global management consulting firm McKinsey & Company to offer Connected Leaders Academy training to support and accelerate the careers of Asian, Black/African American and Hispanic/Latinx associates who wish to take the next step in their careers.
The leadership training, launching in February 2023, will offer exciting opportunities to learn and connect with peers inside and outside Advantage. Participants will develop valuable skills and relationships that will help them grow professionally and personally. Eighty-eight percent of Advantage associates who completed a pilot program said they would recommend it to others.
“As an alum, I can personally say I thoroughly appreciated the learnings gained from each session and the connections made with Advantage colleagues while expanding my external Latinx network,” said Senior Director of Diversity, Equity & Inclusion Giannina Seaman.
The training is geared toward individuals at three different career stages: Leadership Essentials for early careerists and individual contributors, the Management Accelerator for early to mid-career managers and the Executive Leadership Program for senior leaders one or two levels below the c-suite.
