MAINTENANCE PATH

Royal American Management is excited to announce the launch of our new Pathway to Career Development (PCD) program. This comprehensive initiative is designed to empower our employees and provide them with the tools and opportunities needed to explore new career paths within our organization. Thoughtfully developed, nurtured, and launched by our Training Department, ACE Committee, and PCD Task Force, the Maintenance Department will be the first to pilot this program with other departments to follow suit soon.

Orientation for our inaugural class of 5 participants met on October 30th, 2024 at our Orlando Corporate Office. The pilot program only included Orlando and Gainesville-based maintenance teams currently, but we are excited to expand the program in the future to different markets.

We support our employees with competitive benefits and career growth opportunities while positively impacting the communities we serve. Together, we are building a more inclusive, supportive, and vibrant future."
