Empowering Careers: Professional Development at Am-Tran

We're not just moving packages—we're moving careers forward

At Am-Tran, we believe in more than just delivering packages—we’re committed to delivering opportunities for our employees too. Our philosophy around professional development sets us apart from other companies. Unlike those that aim for long-term retention, we take pride in supporting our employees' ambitions beyond Am-Tran. and we’re proud to share how we’re helping our team members build successful careers within and beyond our company.

A springboard to success

Recently, we celebrated a significant milestone for one of our couriers, Paul. After a year with us, Paul secured a great job as a lab assistant at John Muir Hospital. While at Am-Tran, Paul balanced his morning classes with an afternoon route—truly an inspiration! 

When he told us about it, we were all thrilled. This transition exemplifies one of our core philosophies: we're not just a workplace, but a launchpad for future careers. We’re proud to be a place where pursuing your career dreams is encouraged.

Learning through experience

Our couriers gain invaluable exposure to various professional environments every day. Whether it’s a hospital, lab, pharmacy, factory, what have you, each delivery is an opportunity to observe, learn, and potentially discover a new career path. Maybe there’s a job board, or a referral, or simply the inspiration to dig deeper into that profession. We encourage our team to stay curious, ask questions, and to seek out their next adventure.

Building Transferable Skills

Our team members develop crucial skills that are highly valued across industries during their time at Am-Tran:

  1. Attention to detail
  2. Problem-solving
  3. Customer service
  4. Time management
  5. Adaptability

These competencies form a solid foundation for any career trajectory our team members might pursue.

A Win-Win Approach

And this works for our customers too! They’re looking to fill positions, and having the chance to see a prospect in action is better evidence of a person’s attitude and work ethic than they would ever get off any resume. 

Embracing Reality, Celebrating Growth

We recognize that for many, being a courier is a stepping stone rather than a final destination. By acknowledging and supporting this reality, we create a positive, motivating environment. There's no greater satisfaction than seeing a former courier launch into an exciting new career, knowing we played a part in their journey.

At Am-Tran, we're redefining what it means to be a courier company. We're not just moving packages—we're moving careers forward. By investing in our employees' futures, we're building a legacy of success that extends far beyond our company walls.
