Management Trainee

CED’s Management Training Program is designed for driven, sales-minded individuals who want more than just a job—they want to run a business.

CED is a privately held company with over 750 locations nationwide. Through our Management Training Program, you’ll learn every part of the business and develop the skills needed to lead and operate your own multi-million-dollar location.

This is a hands-on, real-world training program—not a classroom. You’ll be in the business from day one, learning by doing.

• A clear path to leadership and management
• Real responsibility early in your career
• Training across all aspects of running a business
• The opportunity to lead your own location upon completion

• Account management and customer relationships
• Project management and business development

You’ll also participate in ongoing training focused on:
