Many companies, including CTA are realizing how important it is to fully support their employees when it comes to their career aspirations. It's in everyone's best interest for you to be further educated, trained well, and supported healthily.
As many organizations turn away from the hierarchical organizational structure and lean more toward a flat organizational structure, you will start to see companies show more concern for the growth and development of their employees. Think about the type of role that you would like to gain over the next few years. What kind of further education and training would you need to take, to be eligible?

"I have professional goals which include promotion into an operational management position with CTA over the next five years. One factor I have considered is the fact that I would need to return to school to complete my Bachelor of Management degree to be an eligible candidate. I am just a few credits shy. I noticed that CTA offers a tuition reimbursement program which is very generous. If you could support my professional goals, this would be the best start."

"I genuinely appreciate this question and acknowledge the efforts that CTA puts into training and developing its employees. The first step for me would be to have access to a robust training plan since this is my first professional job since graduating. The more educated I am, the more comfortable I will be; ensuring better performance and faster growth within your organization."
