A look at the professional development and education system at the heart of Atlantic.
Great work comes from people who keep learning. That’s the idea behind Atlantic University, our firm-wide professional development and education system. It gives everyone at Atlantic the support, relationships, and opportunities to build a rewarding career, and it helps us bring clients the best service we can offer.
Atlantic University is built around five pillars: Grow, Connect, Know, Explore, and Lead. Together they support the whole person, from technical skill to leadership, at every stage of a career.
Grow
Grow is about having the resources to invest in yourself. Each employee has an annual professional development budget, and the firm hosts a regular series of Lunch & Learn sessions. For employees, that means real support for the learning they care about, and a firm that invests alongside them.
Connect
Connect is a structured six-month mentorship program that develops both mentees and mentors. Mentees gain guidance and perspective, and mentors strengthen their coaching and leadership skills. It’s growth through relationships, not just resources.
Know
Know keeps our people current and confident in their craft. It covers technical knowledge, licensure support, industry trends, and continuing education, so employees have what they need to stay sharp and excel in their work.
Explore
Explore offers intentional exposure to parts of the profession, the firm, or the industry that people don’t encounter day to day. It’s available at every career stage, and it helps employees build a broader view of their field and discover new interests.
Lead
Lead is built on a simple belief: leadership is not a title, it’s a practice. Employees can lead projects, people, and initiatives starting now, wherever they are in their careers.
What It Means for Our People
For employees, Atlantic University means a career with room to grow. It means access to mentors, exposure to new ideas, support for licensure and continuing education, and the chance to lead early. It’s a clear signal that the firm is committed to each person’s development.
What It Means for Our Clients
We invest in our employees’ continuing education because it keeps us bringing clients our best. We look for learning that fits our current practices and also opens the door to new markets, technologies, tools, and ways of working. Teams that stay curious bring sharper thinking and stronger solutions to every project.
