Abstract: In a rural state ranked 49th by population, a Vermont manufacturing company is attracting attention and
scoring high marks for the way they leveraged their internal talent to build and sustain a culture of quality and performance
improvement. This case study explores how a company of 250 employees developed a supervisory and leadership
program, and then integrated the program into a competency based production training program linked to an employee development plan. The results contributed to company growth of 346 percent and earned a top five ranking of all Vermont businesses.
