Target Helps Train Tomorrow’s Emergency Managers Today

Where are the big city emergency managers of tomorrow to come from?

That’s a question that Target and Big City Emergency Managers (BCEM) a nonprofit group of emergency managers in the 15 largest U.S. cities are helping to answer. Since 2010, Target and BCEM have hosted the annual “Emerging Leaders” training program at the retailer’s Minneapolis headquarters.

It is a multi-month training process that helps 15 early-and-middle management employees nominated by their BCEM member cities to significantly enhance and expand their emergency management skills.

“Supporting this program is a unique way for Target to give back to the communities we serve,” said Target spokesperson Molly Snyder. “By helping to train these emergency managers on leadership essentials, we are empowering and uniting them with their peers so that they can be effective leaders and support their communities when they need it most."
