CRAFTING CAREERS, FORGING LEADERS.
As you grow your career with Manhattan Construction, new learning opportunities await you. Our two-level Manhattan Leadership Academy is an invitation-only intensive leadership development program focused on preparing the participant for the next step in their leadership journey.
“I really enjoyed my time in the Manhattan Leadership Academy! Before entering the program I had a strong grasp on my day-to-day duties, but after the program, I realized there is a completely different aspect to leading and there is always something you can be doing to become a better leader. The knowledge I gained from our instructors and a room full of young leaders was invaluable and I encourage everyone who gets an opportunity, to make the best of it!”
“In the 20+ years I have worked in the construction industry only Manhattan has shown that they care about an employee’s development. As a graduate of the first class of Manhattan Leadership Academy, I am proud to say that moving forward with Manhattan, I am confident I am not only a better leader but a better husband, a better father, and a better person because of Manhattan and MLA.”
“Since joining Manhattan, I have been promoted to Vice President of Preconstruction, overseeing precon at a national level, included as a member of the Senior Leadership Team, and have had an opportunity to provide a representative voice for other women in our company. As a member of the Senior Leadership Team, I am encouraged to see our company have a strategic focus on supporting all of our family of builders to develop their careers to the highest level possible. Our amazing mentorship program allows college students to have great exposure to our company and our industry. We have programs that help develop the leadership skills of our employees, as well as a strong group of tenured builders that provide a wealth of knowledge to educate on the technical side of the business. We launched BuildHER, an employee resource group that supports women's career growth in our company.”
“The Manhattan Executive Leadership Development plan was an outstanding commitment by Manhattan Construction to my continued personal growth. Manhattan has always had a constant focus on construction-specific development. With this new opportunity, it takes the general construction training to a new level with overall leadership and personal interaction skills that are becoming ever more important as I continue to progress with the company."
