Your Training and Development Whichever
area of the organisation you join, you will enter a real job
with real responsibilities. Early on there will be the one-on-one
training you receive from colleagues. You will also attend relevant
events – from technology courses and conferences to computer
and language skills training. Soon after you join, you'll start
our Business Training Programme.
The
Business Training Programme aims to:
- ensure you
gain a broad understanding of our organisation and businesses
whilst learning your specific job.
- develop
your commercial awareness and understanding of best business
practices.
- introduce
you to a network of colleagues across our business units.
- inform you
of the company strategy and goals by contact with senior
executives.
The course
runs from October to July in blocks of two-day modules which
cover four areas of learning:
- The European
businesses: you visit business units to hear about
their work, customers and strategies; take factory tours
and learn about the range of products and processes; discover
how the businesses interrelate and realise the amazing
variety of opportunities available in the future.
- Personal
skills development: you develop transferable
skills such as organisation, presentation,
writing, cross-cultural communication.
The aim is to improve your confidence and
effectiveness in business situations.
- Business
awareness: you
experience
the mix
of disciplines
that contribute
to our
success
and development – marketing,
manufacturing
and business
finance – providing
you with
the breadth
of understanding
to command
respect
as you
progress
your career.
- Project
management: you'll
develop
your
leadership
and
teamworking
skills
as
a
member
of
a
cross-divisional
team,
addressing
a
'live'
business
problem.
You'll
present
your
results
to
the
Chief
Executive
and
members
of the
board.
At
the
end
of
the
year
you'll
have
a
personal
development
discussion to
establish
your
progress
and
achievements,
explore
your
aspirations,
examine
ways
to
evolve
your
job
and
map
out
action
plans
to
realise
your ambitions.
'People
listen
to
you
and
your
contribution
is
welcomed.
The
Business
Training
Programme
brings
you
into
contact
with
people
from
all
areas
of
the
businesses,
as
well
as
with board
members.
This
encouragement
to
think
and
live
company-wide
means
you
get
fantastic
exposure
and
that
senior
people
take
an
interest
in
you
and
remember
you.'

are
a
task

result-oriented

We

will
ensure
that
you
have
the
opportunity
to
match
your
personal
and
technical
skills
development
to
your
ambitions.
As
well
as
courses run
by
top
management
training
providers,
we
offer
you
financial
support
to

Business

Certificate
in

and
individual

Following
the
Business
Training
Programme,
after
some
experience,
you
have
the
opportunity
to
be
nominated
for
the
Management
Development
Programme.
How
you
decide
to
apply
the
skills
you
build
and
the
qualifications
you
achieve
is
down
to
you – the
opportunities
to
go
as
far
as
you
choose
are certainly
available.
