In mid-June the company will launch Dream Path, a twelve-week sales and service boot camp in Indianapolis for recent college graduates, after which successful participants will be offered full-time positions. The cmpany also reaches out to working mothers with its ReturnShip internship program, designed for women who have been out of the workforce for more than one year. This program provides a flexible work environment that offers relevant experience and skill development to help participants re-enter the job market.
