The Be Pro Be Proud Core Values Statement 

We are confident, courageous, and respectful communicators who act with integrity and take responsibility for our actions. We value each other's thoughts and concerns and work together to deliver outcomes in a timely manner. Our achievements are reached together and our losses carried together.  We put others' needs ahead of our own. These traits define individuals who lead with pride and professionalism. These are the core values of Be Pro Be Proud. 

Be Pro Be Proud believes that successful professionals share these core values: 

Professionals are timely, respectful, and confident communicators who approach their work and others with integrity. They are proud of their contributions to something greater than themselves. 

The Be Pro Be Proud Alabama Tour Manager 

Be Pro Be Proud exists to change long-held beliefs and perceptions across all segments of United States society about the value and opportunity provided by technical careers in manufacturing, construction, agriculture & forestry, digital technology, transportation, utility, education, and healthcare industry sectors.   

We are combating generation-old stigmas and social norms as they relate to legitimate career pursuits.  We are working to eradicate terms including “vocational,” “middle-skill jobs,” “blue collar,” “trades” and others, replacing them with “technical professions” or “skilled professions.” Scale, responsibilities, performance demands, degrees of responsibility and growth potential in many technical career fields match, if not exceed, those of traditional professional careers.  We are working to eliminate the belief that a clear distinction exists between students who “are college material” versus those who are not – and that traditional school performance is reflective of value, ability, or potential. 

Our Tour Teams are essential for achieving our goals across the Be Pro Be Proud National Network. Each team member must enthusiastically convey our purpose, engage our target audiences, and inspire them to consider our message. This is no easy task as consistently delivering results requires the right people. The challenge is even greater with our audiences—middle and high school students, educators, and parents—who are often skeptical of messages that challenge traditional career beliefs. Our message must be concise, well-articulated, and delivered by credible, compelling team members. This responsibility starts with selecting the right Tour Managers.  

Tour Managers must reside in the State of Alabama and pass a background check.  It is vital that Tour Managers possess the following characteristics: 

• Approachable 
• Articulate 
• Charismatic 
• Passionate 
• Relatable 
• Team-focused 
• Have a personal story (i.e., post-secondary pursuit/job history) that adds credibility to the Be Pro Be Proud message. 

Be Pro Be Proud is committed to inclusivity and does not discriminate based on age, gender, race, country of origin, or orientation. Our message is meaningful to everyone—whether they are top performers or individuals still exploring their path.
