When a company enrolls in Junto's Apprenticeship Program, we do an on-boarding interview during which we get to know the company's leadership team in more detail, and learn how we can customize the program to their needs.

Like most companies, we work our hardest to delight our customers. In fact, our most important core value is to "create remarkable experiences through ingenuity, high standards, over-communication, and details." We know we've met that standard when our graduates become repeat customers (through our Alumni program) and/or share unsolicited, highly positive feedback on their experience.
