Position Descriptions
The Manager in Training (MIT) program is a blended-learning, ten week
program focused on immersing a manager in all aspects involved in managing a
multi-million dollar business for Abercrombie & Fitch. Training takes place
in our domestic and international store locations. Each week the program
focuses on a different aspect of running the business. The program trains
the MIT on the necessary principles of management; including creating the
best in-store experience, recruiting, diversity, human resources, store
operations, and visual merchandising. The program is structured and provides
the MIT with daily and weekly feedback from the Store Manager and District
Manager. The MIT completes daily readings and exercises, experiences and
learns through on the job training, and completes weekly assessments. The
MIT must successfully complete the training program to be moved into an
Assistant Manager role.
Successful completion of this program is the first step for leadership. At
Abercrombie & Fitch, we strongly advocate a philosophy of promotion from
within. All of our District Managers, Regional Managers, Directors - even
the Senior Vice President of Stores - have gone through the MIT program.
With the growth of the company domestically and internationally, career
opportunities for an MIT have never been better.
