Our Career Opportunity and Management Employment Training (COMET) is the exclusive, award-winning, fast-track training program of Applied Industrial Technologies. Our program runs from September through May of each year and includes:

• A full time, permanent opportunity within the organization for a new and/or recent graduate
• The first 10 months in a trainee role receiving personalized training and coaching by managers and peers, many of whom started in the same position.
• Product training as well as soft-skills training in sales, communications, and customer service through one-on-one, small group, web-based methods, and on-the-job training.
• We will introduce you to our sales and operations processes, technology, and strong company culture focused on customer satisfaction, personal mastery, and individual/team contributions.
• Following the program, you will be placed in a permanent position in one of our service centers, shops or functions.

Many of our COMET graduates are now in management and senior management positions with Applied.
