Tractor Supply offers a wide range of programs and development
opportunities across all stages of its Team Members’ careers.
Summer Internship Program:
Since 2015, Tractor Supply has offered a summer internship program
at the Company’s Store Support Center (HQ), giving college and
recently graduated students the opportunity to gain work experience
in their field of study. The internship program has continued
throughout the COVID-19 pandemic with the 2020 and 2021 classes
working remotely.
Graduate Development
Program: The Company also offers Graduate Development
Programs where new graduates can enter a 12-week rotational program
to gain a holistic understanding of the relationship between key
retail functions such as buying, marketing, pricing, supply chain
and more. Both the internship program and graduate development
programs have served as a pipeline for full-time positions.
Team Member Engagement
Groups: Last year the Company launched a Young
Professionals resource group focused on development, social and
service opportunities for anyone identifying as earlier in their
career. This Team Member Engagement Group is in addition to five
other resource groups: African Americans on the R.I.S.E., Fuerte
Juntos Hispanic Group, LGTBQ+ You Belong OUT Here, Veterans Group
and Women Out Here. The resource groups, governed by the Diversity,
Equity and Inclusion Council chaired by the Company’s President and
CEO Hal Lawton, create communities for those within the targeted
demographic and their allies to help make sure Tractor Supply is
meeting the needs of all Team Members.
Continuing Education and Professional
Development: Tractor Supply offers dozens of continuing
education courses and leadership development opportunities. The
Company also offers tuition reimbursement for approved degree
programs.
The list for the “America’s Best Employers for New Graduates
2021” was conducted through an independent survey by Statista. They
surveyed over 20,000 Americans with less than 10 years of
professional experience working for businesses with at least 1,000
employees. All the surveys were anonymous, allowing participants to
openly share their opinions. The respondents were asked to rate
their employers on a variety of criteria, including safety of work
environment, competitiveness of compensation, opportunities for
advancement, effectiveness of diversity and inclusion efforts and
company image. They then asked respondents how likely they would be
to recommend their employer to others, and to nominate
organizations outside of their own.
