How does the LETP support career advancement?

The LETP, or Local Employee Training Program, is designed to equip employees with the essential skills and knowledge needed for career advancement within BNSF. By focusing on developing competencies that are directly relevant to job performance and advancement opportunities, employees can enhance their qualifications for promotions. This program prioritizes practical skills and understanding of various roles within the company, enabling employees to demonstrate their readiness for more advanced positions.

While bonuses and teaching opportunities are beneficial aspects, the primary goal of LETP is to ensure that all participants are well-prepared for the next steps in their careers. Compliance training, on the other hand, is necessary but does not directly contribute to career growth in the same way the skills developed through LETP do. Overall, the structure of the LETP prepares employees not just for their current roles, but also for future promotions by building a foundation of knowledge and expertise.
