Learning & Development

We are a professional and learning organization where personal development contributes to our success. This, now and in the future, depends primarily on our people. We encourage our employees to develop their educational and professional skills to the best of their ability. Therefore we take various learning and development initiatives. Our development and training policy is based on blended learning which means diverse ways of learning new skills and knowledge by a mix of classroom learning, E-learning, learning on the job and self study.

Like everything at Swets, your learning and development is designed to be practical, entrepreneurial and innovative. Practical, because we aim to make you feel at home as soon as possible and successful in your job; entrepreneurial, because ultimately you are responsible for driving your learning; and innovative, because that's just the way we are.

The guiding principles for your development within Swets are the following:

• Our philosophy is to encourage you to take ownership of your own development. We will support you and provide you with the resources you need, so that you can expand your own competences and experience. But the choice of direction will be yours to make.
• You are open to feedback and reflection, you have hands-on mentality and you show curiosity and willingness to broaden your knowledge.
• During your career at Swets, you will experience different roles and projects that challenge you.
• We monitor your performance and development needs during the yearly Performance Management Cycle.
• Colleagues and managers are very willing to advise you and to share their experience with you – after all, if it helps you, it helps us.
