Developing Tomorrow’s Leaders

Training & Leadership Development

CMC’s training and development programs are designed to help our employees advance and achieve their career goals. Our LMS tracks employee training hours and offers capabilities to provide internal training and renew professional certifications to meet legal requirements.

We provide online and in-person training options to our employees as well as tuition assistance programs to support employees who choose to further their education. The courses offered in online training include subjects such as team building, leadership and job-specific safety. In-person courses include Core, our rotational training program for new entry-level hires in corporate, logistics, commercial or operational positions, which had over 30 participants in 2025.

We also offer Essentials of Selling for new salespeople and the Essentials of Management (EOM) program for new people managers. As part of the EOM program, participants engage in highly interactive workshops with their peers. In 2025, we rolled out Essentials of Management 201, a training course that builds upon the 101 and 102 course content to cover topics like trust, inclusion and change management. In 2025, CMC Poland launched a training program for new managers, with over 250 people participating in the year-long training.

CMC’s leadership development programs focus on training future leaders to power our future growth. We continue to partner with LinkedIn Learning to provide online resources to support professional development for director and vice president level leaders. High-potential candidates participate in our Management Development Program (MDP), which focuses on expanding participants’ skills, providing experience in different lines of business and learning from senior leadership. MDP participants receive 360-degree feedback, individual coaching and additional training. In 2025, we expanded the program to include employees outside the U.S. through our Management Development Program International (MDPI), with 13 employees participating.

We provide performance reviews to 100% of eligible team members to help employees establish and meet goals for career advancement. We have a formal succession planning process with a goal of promoting leaders from within the company. In the U.S., managers assess their individual team members’ potential and performance. Teams hold calibration sessions to help identify candidates for advancement and leaders develop succession plan strategies with an emphasis on developing talent internally for long-term success. CMC Poland has a succession program for approximately 50 managerial positions where we identify successors for these positions and implement individual progression programs with tailored skills and leadership training for each position.
