2027 Managed Inventory Development Program (Begins June 2027)

The Wesco Managed Inventory Development Program is a twelve-month training program designed to prepare Associates for many opportunities within Wesco. Associates will gain knowledge of warehouse and operations, gain exposure to creative selling strategies and overall business acumen, establish project management skills and gain product and industry knowledge, all while supporting and resolving issues for customers, managing customer’s inventory and expanding their professional networks throughout Wesco. Associates work directly under the supervision of a senior member of the Customer Materials Management Team and are paired with a peer mentor (previous program graduate). Successful completion of the program results in a full-time position.
