Developing Analytical Thinking
LAD’s DART (Data Analytics Rotational Training) program is a unique way to experience the many facets of the company by completing rotations within different departments.
Analytical thinking, and the use of data, is essential to achieving company goals, and the DART program provides early-career professionals of all areas of study a path to success. Participants choose opportunities that fit their unique goals, enabling them to build their skills across a spectrum of subjects to accelerate their growth.
There are 30 LAD departments offering opportunities to DART members. Members work with managers to create roadmaps that outline their rotation schedule and their goals for the future. The goal is to help all DART members find a perfect fit within the company – whether after one rotation or several.
