Your Training and Development When you join Johnson Matthey you will have a real job with real responsibilities. From day one you will receive one on one training from your colleagues. Whether on the job, in the seminar room or at an off site conference, you are trained to achieve the highest standards and encouraged to develop to your full potential.
Johnson Matthey’s Business Training Programme is continually evolving to meet the needs of a fast changing world and a growing organisation. It has been developed to offer a robust, comprehensive and enjoyable foundation for any career.
The Business Training Programme aims to:
- Provide an understanding of the whole organisation beyond your own job.
- Develop your commercial awareness and understanding of best business practice.
- Introduce you to networking with colleagues across a large number of our business units.
- Engage and involve you with Johnson Matthey’s strategy and goals by meeting with senior managers.
The Business Training Programme includes a number of two day modules to cover four areas of learning:
- Group Awareness: you visit business units throughout the Johnson Matthey Group 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.
- Technology Awareness: you visit major Technology Centres throughout Johnson Matthey to hear about new opportunities and project priorities from technology leaders; see equipment and facilities and exchange information about current project work.
- Professional Development Seminars: you develop transferable skills such as personal effectiveness, giving presentations, business and scientific writing, cross cultural communication and project management. The aim is to improve your confidence and effectiveness with people and in a wide range of business situations.
- Business Training: you experience the mix of disciplines that contribute to Johnson Matthey’s successful development – marketing, manufacturing and business finance – providing you with the breadth of understanding to command respect as you progress your career.
From time to time you'll have personal development discussions to review your progress and achievements, explore your aspirations, examine ways to evolve your job and achieve 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 senior managers. This encouragement to think and live company-wide means you get valuable exposure - senior people take an interest and remember you.
Building your Career
Johnson Matthey has ambitious goals: in profit growth, return on investment and shareholder value – and most of our employees are shareholders. We’re also setting our sights higher: using technology to build a better, sustainable world for the next generation – a challenge we can all be part of.
Our framework of internal and external courses will ensure that you have the opportunity to match your personal and technical skills to your ambitions. As well as internal courses run by top training providers, we offer financial support for external Certificates in Management, Diplomas and, where appropriate, MBAs. Individual specialist qualifications such as Diplomas in Marketing or Chartered Status for chemical engineers are strongly supported.
Beyond the various opportunities of the Business Training Programme you have the opportunity to be nominated for the Group Management Development Programme - an opportunity for selected managers from across Johnson Matthey to meet regularly throughout the year to raise their game, network across the organisation and discuss strategy plans with board members.
How you decide to apply the skills you build and the qualifications you achieve is up to you. The opportunities are certainly available, as our Chief Executive and many other senior managers have proved in joining Johnson Matthey directly from university.
