The Chick-fil-A Forsyth Spark Leadership Development Program selects candidates with a solid foundation of strong self-awareness, Chick-fil-A Core Values, and a deep understanding of the Chick-fil-A business from which we build the best and brightest culture of leadership development for tomorrow’s Chick-fil-A restaurants. We firmly believe in learning to lead yourself before learning to lead others and learning to lead others before learning to lead our business. We want to help you do that.
During their time in our program, our Spark Leadership Development program graduates have had the unique opportunity to build a strong foundation of management skills and leadership character which can be applied both personally and professionally.
Some of our graduates entered the program with a desire to pursue a career outside of food service, but they made this leadership investment to enhance those future opportunities. Others decide to build a career with Chick-fil-A, either at the restaurant level or at our Chick-fil-A Support Center in Atlanta, and use this leadership development program as the beginning of those pursuits. Regardless of the chosen path, the leadership character that is built on a personal level will have a life-changing impact.
