About the Opportunity:
The CEO-In-Training (CIT) role is intended to prepare proven leaders for an Executive Director position, overseeing a Pennant affiliated company (owned by Pennant Group). The CIT Program is a full time, paid, self-driven training program that runs approx. 3-4 months depending on level of experience and industry knowledge.
