The program has three components: Mentoring, Training, and Rotations.
MENTORING - The SOAR Program is designed to develop highly skilled, productive, and committed individuals who will help lead Greenplum's future success. You will have proven Greenplum leaders as mentors. These mentors will help you develop critical technical skills, business acumen, and leadership skills. Your mentors will also be instrumental in building your network, by introducing you to key individuals at Greenplum, EMC, and beyond.
