Career Development

The Tennessean Media Group has a demonstrated commitment to growing the careers of our staffers. We have a very active internal job posting system which results in many promotions from within. For example, in the past year, over 60 staffers have landed new jobs or have been promoted up the career ladder of their current positions. Also, 80% of our managers and supervisors reached their current jobs through internal promotions, which is a strong indicator of our commitment to grow leaders.

We provide a variety of opportunities to support staffers' growth and development:

• Our SOAR ! (Strengths, Opportunities, Aspirations, Results) Program, that assists staffers with designing learning plans that are specifically tailored to their individual, unique career goals.
• Online training that includes technical and business related topics
• Computer training
• Management and leadership classes
• Gannett Mentoring program
• Gannett Leadership and Development Program
• Ongoing skills based training in all areas of our business
