Professional Development at Two Barrels: Your Growth, Our Priority

We’ve all heard it before: if you’re not learning and growing, you’re falling behind. That’s why at Two Barrels, we’re all about professional development for our employees. And not just the “mandatory annual security training” kind. We want to see our people grow—and maybe even take over the world (just don’t forget us when you do). We’re talking workshops, book clubs, career growth paths, and more. We want our people to be great communicators, effective leaders, and savvy business owners. Here’s what we’re doing to make that happen.

Our Culture of Continuous Improvement

At Two Barrels, we don’t just shove you into a corner and tell you to “figure it out.” We’ve got a whole squad—a full-on Training Crew—dedicated to making sure you get the development opportunities you need. These folks design workshops, courses, and more to help you level up your skills, whether you’re diving deeper into your role or preparing for something new.

Our Training Crew hosts everything from Critical Thinking workshops to classes like Owning Your Business and Time Management. Basically, you’ll be able to level up in any area you want. Got your eye on a promotion? Cool. Want to get better at your current job? Easy. Want to become the office’s next big project leader? Let’s make it happen. We’re consistently adding new sections of courses when existing ones fill up, and we’re always creating new courses when there’s a call for them.

And then there are our Self Development Guides. These detailed guides lay out exactly what you need to get from where you are now to where you see your future self. Want to be a Frontend Developer or Project Coordinator? There’s a guide for that. Thinking of switching things up and becoming a Graphic Designer? We’ve got that covered, too. These guides are built by our hiring managers, and they’ll help you prepare for your next career move, whenever you’re ready.

Also, we’ve got a new book club. We’re reading books that actually matter—titles that help you become a better colleague, leader, or creator. We don’t have anything like the latest installment of ACOTAR on the list (yet), but we do bring in titles that will tell you how to be a better teammate or how to meet your goals. The best part about it is that we get together digitally each month to argue about discuss what we learned from the book.

Internal Growth Opportunities

Here’s the thing about Two Barrels: we never stop learning. We’ve built a culture where picking up new skills and improving old ones is just a part of the daily grind. Whether it’s diving into an advanced topic in one of our training workshops, or discussing leadership tips in the book club, you’ll find growth opportunities everywhere.

But what really sets us apart? It’s the fact that we’re not just training you for the job you have today—we’re training you for the job you want tomorrow. We love to promote from within. We’re always looking for people to move up, move sideways, or try something completely different. Your career at Two Barrels is as flexible as you want it to be. Heck, half of our current leadership team has worked their way through multiple roles as they grew alongside the company.

If you’re here for the long haul—and we hope you are—we’ve got plenty of ways to make sure you stay challenged and fulfilled. From cross-training and projects that stretch your abilities to helping you develop and find success with your side hustle, we’ve got your back. And don’t worry, we’ll make sure you’ve got the resources to do it all.

Personal Alignment

With teams that are spread across four or more time zones, we’re really committed to keeping communication open and flowing. One thing everyone at Two Barrels will eventually encounter is the annual performance and career alignment. Now, before you roll your eyes at what sounds like corporate HR jargon, let me assure you—it’s actually kind of awesome.

Here’s how it works: three times a year, we sit down with you and talk about you. Your achievements, your goals, what you’re crushing, and what you’re struggling with. It’s your chance to align what you’re doing with where you want to go. We don’t just stop there, though. Throughout the year, we keep the conversation going with regular one-on-one meetings with your leader. And yes, we actually call them “leaders.” Because “boss” is so 1999. We want you to know what success looks like to us, and we want to know what success looks like to you.

And if you’re thinking, “Great, but what about promotions?” Like we said above: we love hiring internally. But we also want to make sure you’re set up for success. That means making sure you’ve nailed your current role, that the new role is available (we can’t just invent jobs… yet), and that you’re ready for it. You’ll need to show us what you’ve got, but we’ll help you get there.

So, What’s Next?

At Two Barrels, we’re all about you. We hired you because you inspired us (no pressure), and we want you to stick around. Whether that means diving deeper into the role you’re in or exploring new career paths, we’ve got everything you need to succeed.
