My experience with Guild was with the Frontline Managers course, which was designed for Target. I got a ton out of the course but even more so I was struck with how useful it would be for my team. I recommend it to all my team members looking to develop themselves.

Mentorship & development
We offer on-the-job development and mentorship opportunities to ensure team members have the skills and resources they need to be successful.
Mentorship connections
Make connections that matter. Mentors, coaches and sponsors play a critical role in how we care, grow and win as one Target team. Target provides the tools to both find and nurture these important relationships, giving the space to mentors and mentees alike to support each other in their growth and development.
Developmental programming
We prioritize and invest in learning and development at all stages of a team member’s journey with us—from our interns to frontline leaders and senior-level talent. We provide a wide range of resources, such as business-area specific training and workshop opportunities, for our team members to support their unique career goals.
Mentoring is a two-way street! Both the mentee and mentor should be able to learn from each other and and use their time together growing and helping each other see true potential.

As a store director who was privileged to be invited into the [Store Director Development Program] pilot program last year, I can attest that the experience is absolutely incredible.
