Dear Prospective Trainee:

Thank you for your interest in participating in the 2017 Governor’s Minority Management Trainee Program (GMMTP)! The Personnel Cabinet is committed to our mission of providing leadership and guidance to attract, develop, motivate, and retain a talented, diverse workforce. We are pleased to provide you with this exceptional learning and development opportunity.

GMMTP is a program that was one of the first of its kind, and one that has garnered respect from agencies across the Commonwealth. This program provides the opportunity for professional and personal development, and will assist in the further development of your potential to solve emerging workforce issues as they pertain to state government.

GMMTP is designed to recruit exceptional minority employees interested in furthering their career in state government. The program includes a rigorous two year experience with partners from across various cabinets and agencies. Participants will engage in an exploration of leadership in state government under the mentorship of Managers, Executive Directors, and Cabinet Secretaries who will serve as mentors to the trainees. Participants will also have the opportunity to shadow and pursue additional mentoring with private sector professionals.

Program activities include completion of the Certificate of Supervisory Essentials (CSE) program, community service opportunities, individualized career mentoring, workshops on leadership, social activities, and more.

The information available from the website and the GMMTP Information Packet will guide you through the application process. The deadline to apply for the 2017 program is 12:00 pm on July 17, 2017. We recommend that you complete all of the components of your application as early as possible to ensure all materials are received prior to the deadline.

Please feel free to contact Colene Elridge at (502) 564-8000 if you have any questions after reviewing the application instructions.

Sincerely,

Colene Elridge
