No companies were eligible to be inducted into the Training Top 10 Hall of Fame in 2015. However, next year, McCarthy Building Companies, Inc., will join the ranks of the current 11 companies in the hall (Wyeth Pharmaceuticals subsequently was acquired by Pfizer Inc. in 2000; General Mills, Inc., and Microsoft Corporation fulfilled their terms and opted to come out of the hall this year and are eligible to submit 2016 Training Top 125 applications). These 11 companies held Top 10 spots in the Training Top 50, Top 100, and now Top 125 rankings for four consecutive years.
Members remain in the Top 10 Hall of Fame for a minimum of three years. They can choose to remain in the Hall of Fame by adhering to specific guidelines or they can opt to reapply for Training Top 125 consideration.
