Moving up at MIL

Besides supporting our communities, MIL also cares for and invests in our
own people, including in their growth and career advancement. One of the
ways we ensure that all MIL team members are able to thrive and progress at
MIL is by contributing to their professional development. In the past, we’ve
used contributions towards external training programs and MILTON, tuition
reimbursement for continuing education, and defrayed costs for industry
affiliations, seminars, and conferences to support employee efforts. For staff just
starting out on new career paths, we’ve also promoted internal cross-training,
summer internships, and “boot camps” geared towards mentoring junior staff.

development process.
