AST kicked off its 2019 AST Academy program with the Aspen
class on Monday, July 15. A warm Team
AST welcome to Joe G., TJ A., Humberto B., Sarah M., Mohita P., and Sridhar K.!
AST Academy provides an opportunity for individuals to
participate in a focused training program to learn more about the industry,
software, and client relationship dynamic in order to build a rewarding career
and a foundation for lifelong leadership skills. During their first week as part of the team,
our Aspen class participated in training sessions concentrated on internal
operations, partner relationships, soft skills development, practice-specific
education (ERP, EPM, Tech Services, Managed Services, CX), sales operations,
change management, project management, AST solutions, and more! The team also had several opportunities for
networking and team building throughout the week, including a morning of
volunteering at the Northern Illinois Food Bank with Team AST colleagues.
In the coming weeks, the Aspen Class will dive deeper into
practice and technical education, work closely with a seasoned mentor from his
or her specific area of focus, and will soon join our teams on active client
projects in order to demonstrate the knowledge gained during AST Academy. Within just weeks, the class will be fully
assimilated into AST’s client projects as active and productive members of the
teams.
Agile learning is at the forefront of talent development at
AST and is promoted through AST Academy. The mission of AST Academy is to
create a transformative learning experience for new and tenured AST employees,
focused on developing deep business and technical abilities, as well as
lifelong problem solving, communication, and leadership skills. Whether you’re
a practice manager or a junior consultant, AST employees are technical experts
in the most powerful, cutting edge, and transformational solutions. Training
and certification are vital to AST’s Talent Development Strategy and key
differentiators in the industry.
