Management Development Program Accepting Applications

The Ferrellgas Management Development Program is now accepting applications for its third class, which begins in the early summer.

Investing in the future of Ferrellgas (Overland Park, Kansas) begins with fostering knowledgeable and impassioned leaders, the company reports. The Ferrellgas Management Development Program is designed to do just that by empowering individuals who are interested in pursuing a career with a high-performing, technology-driven logistics company known for producing top-tier talent.

The Management Development Program, which was created in response to increased demand from employees seeking pathways to positions of leadership, provides participants with an introduction into the intricacies of the business. The program, which accepted its inaugural class in the fall of 2020, now boasts 15 trainees in its second class, with plans of increasing that number in coming editions.

Led by Joe Figueroa, director of the Management Development Program, employees have the opportunity to learn the framework of the company’s functions and operations from the top down. Working alongside management teams, candidates gain a holistic understanding of the successful Ferrellgas Retail and Blue Rhino operations, shaping them into well-rounded and deeply knowledgeable leaders who will be prepared to thrive in any role across the company.

“As a company that prides itself on being a professional, tech-focused, and customer-centered leader in the logistics space, we have a responsibility to shape not only the course of our business, but also our industry,” said Figueroa. “The Management Development Program gives us the ability to train the brightest minds, and provides them with the tools they need to succeed at Ferrellgas, Blue Rhino, and beyond.”

Tamria Zertuche, Ferrellgas chief operating officer, said, “It is only the beginning of this journey, and we’ve already seen the tremendous benefit of investing in these talented and eager leaders in our locations across the country. This is an industry-leading program, unique to Ferrellgas, and we have the utmost confidence in developing leaders capable of taking our company to new heights.”
