The Climb: Leadership Accelerator
The Climb: Leadership Accelerator is a fast-track development program designed to identify and develop proven leaders into Operations Specialists (Shift Leader) within an accelerated timeframe.
This program exists to meet a critical need: building strong, capable leaders who can execute at a high level and lead teams effectively in a fast-paced restaurant environment.
Unlike the standard development pathway, this program is:
Accelerated (8–9 months vs. 1.5–2 years)
Performance-based (not time-based)
Selective (designed for experienced leaders only)
This is not an entry-level development path. It is a fast-track opportunity for individuals who have already demonstrated leadership and are ready to be challenged.

Have prior leadership experience in a fast-paced environment
Have directly professionally led teams of 5–15+ people

Strong attendance and reliability
