Ascend to your potential
It’s not uncommon to meet decades-long Alaska or Horizon employees. You’ll hear stories about how they started on the ramp and moved to management or even executive leadership. Or maybe they started in reservations and eventually found themselves leading important cross-functional projects. The development opportunities abound and can lift a job into an incredible career.
Developing Leaders
A strong future depends on innovative and talented leaders. That’s why the Developing Emerging Leaders (DEL) program is so important—it’s designed to prepare employees at Alaska or Horizon for future leadership opportunities.
DEL is a competitive six-month leadership development program for high potential frontline employees, individual contributors and new supervisors who have demonstrated outstanding performance, values, and are interested in pursuing leadership roles. In addition to their regular job duties, participants complete individual and group assignments that provide exposure across the business while developing leadership skills and solving real business challenges.
“Over the course of six months my team created bonds so strong we didn’t want the program to end, but I know I have deep connections with leaders across the company that will last for years to come.” – Nicole, Campaign Manager, Brand Marketing
