Training is one of the most integral parts of an organization's success. Hooters understands that and prides itself on its internal training programs. Hooters has training programs for every level employee from cooks to accountants, managers to area supervisors. Take a look at the programs that Hooters managers can benefit from.   MANAGER IN TRAINING PROGRAM   This is a comprehensive 9-week program that rotates newly hired managers through every position in our operation. Managers in Training begin by learning the hourly positions and then progress on to the manager on duty functions. There are weekly tests and projects that must be completed during training.   Managers in Training are supervised throughout training by the management teams and regional supervisors of the Manager Training Stores. We have training stores in each market, so travel to another city is not required during training. Upon completion of the Manager in Training Program, our new managers enter the ranks knowledgeable and prepared to handle the operations of Hooters   MANAGEMENT PHASE DEVELOPMENT   Hooters strongly believes that gaining knowledge never ends. Once the Manager in Training Program has been completed, the Management Development Phases begin. These phases are designed to keep the managers constantly learning and motivated to get to the next level.   The phases are designed to take the mangers through the day-to-day running of shifts to effectively promoting their stores. Each phase is geared toward the level of the manager in that phase. Each time a manager is promoted, they enter a new development phase. The learning never stops!   HOOTERS BOOT CAMP   Shortly after the initial manager training, we bring our new managers to our Dallas home office for an action packed, 3-day "Boot Camp" that better prepares them for management 101.   HOOTERS UNIVERSITY   After our managers have been working in the stores for awhile and are working on completing the management development phases, we again bring them to the home office for a Hooters U class. Hooters U contains more advanced learning to help our managers grow in their career with Hooters.
