Training Evaluation: Nexius ACE Program

Abstract

Nexius was founded in 2001 for the purpose of developing the future in telecommunications and wireless industry. “Originally founded in 2001, the company’s dedicated professionals have implemented innovative network deployment, technology and software solutions for some of the largest wireless network operators in the world” (Company, n.d.). Nexius provides quality service to their customers within the telecommunications industry. “Accelerate our Customer’s wireless and business transformation through innovation in network delivery and data insight” (Company, n.d.). Over the years, Nexius has experienced rapid growth within the company. For example, Nexius has been named 103rd fastest growing business in America by Entrepreneur Magazine and has 58% average annual growth over the last five years (Company, n.d.). Due to the increase in business, many subject matter experts were hired to take on the quickly growing company. Many of the employees possessed several years of experience and have taken their career to higher levels. In order to continue on the path to becoming a larger company Nexius was experiencing, the company decided to attract entry-level professionals to join the team. Nexius was experiencing a large number of experienced professionals and wanted to diversify the company by recruiting a younger less experienced group. The company also wanted to start developing for the future as well. Therefore the management team of Nexius decided to create a training program for entry-level professionals in order to develop the ideal employees. The ACE Program started officially in the year 2012 but historically had taken chances on entry-level professionals and wanted to create a more structured program around the idea. The company wanted to leverage the large number of subject matter experts to help train and shape individuals into the ideal Nexius employee, therefore the ACE Program was created. Nexius also wanted to bring on young professionals who possessed passion and the drive to succeed in larger number.
