Hood Container recognizes that supporting our team members in their growth and continued educational endeavors not only creates a learning culture within the organization, but helps us realize the potential of our team members.
The operator development program was different than other training experiences because “I had the opportunity to train directly under supervision and it was one -on-one specialized training.”
We aim to provide a work environment with equal opportunity for learning and personal growth and to that end, Hood Container is developing resources and programs to develop top talent from within our organization.
