"At Alpine, we believe in building fulfilling careers for people first. Our CEO in Training (CIT) program places aspiring leaders into CEO and CXO roles at our portfolio companies immediately after graduation. To develop our CITs into CEOs faster we partnered with Carson Tate to design a customized, comprehensive learning and development program. Using our CEO Readiness Scorecard, each CIT completes an individual development plan to guide their leadership development. Skill and knowledge specific learning journeys that leverage experiential learning, coaching, mentorship, and self-reflection equip and empower our CITs reach their individual development goals and be “CEO ready”. In its first year 49% of CITs have started their IDP, and 30% have completed IDPs with action steps in motion."
