CLEAR

Discover your future with CoreCivic.

“I had the opportunity to participate in a rotational development program such as CLEAR early in my career. It had a significant and positive impact on my individual development and progression as a leader. Exposures that would have otherwise taken years to complete happened in months. This program gave me a broader perspective as a leader by accelerating my learning of roles within my company. I strongly encourage our future leaders to consider this program and, based on my experience, believe that if you take advantage of this opportunity, you will be rewarded.”


-Patrick Swindle, President and Chief Operations Officer

What is CLEAR?
CLEAR, known as CoreCivic Leadership Experiences and Rotations, is a rotational leadership program aimed to provide you with in-depth experiences, on-going mentorships and targeted training across a wide range of business areas within the company.

Working closely with leaders and mentors, participants gain experience in all positions in operations, slowly progressing to supervisory responsibility. Rotations include different areas within the company, including Security, Unit Management, Community, Quality Assurance, Business Office, Human Resources, Food Service, Health Services and the Facility Support Center.

The CLEAR Program began in 2023 and each rotation lasts up to four months. Each cohort class takes roughly two years to complete at varying, strategic locations across the United States. Upon completion of the program, graduates will be strategically placed in a full-time Administrative Duty Officer (ADO) position within the company, such as chief of unit management or assistant warden.

There is one main goal for CLEAR: to recruit and develop the future leaders of CoreCivic.
