Learning and development

We invest in our people. CRU supports employees to enhance their knowledge and skills and to achieve their potential, by providing a range of development opportunities.

We offer a blended approach to learning and development with structured training courses, access to online learning and on-the-job experiences, as well as the opportunity to attend seminars and conferences. At CRU, employees are given tangible responsibilities and exposure to the broader business from day one.

Our programmes support the development of core skills as well as the development of our managers and leaders across the global business. Stretch assignments, international projects, formal and informal mentoring, coaching opportunities, formalised learning programmes and individual development plans are all part of how we help each individual to expand their skillset and experience.

There is a strong emphasis on self-directed learning at CRU, which is why you can structure your own development plans and focus on key personal and professional skills.

We also encourage cross-company networks to consolidate relationships, and to keep our knowledge up-to-date across specialisms. We believe in harnessing and sharing internal knowledge and expertise. Everyone has something to contribute – whether it is unrivalled industry knowledge or an in-depth understanding of new advances in technology – and something new to learn. That’s why we organise knowledge management initiatives such as Communities of Practice and Lunch and Learn sessions which allow staff to connect across the global business, to collaborate, learn and share.
