Continuous learning

At Standard Chartered, we believe learning is a lifelong journey.

Committed to helping our people grow, we've created a self-service learning culture in which everyone can develop their knowledge and skills through a wide range of initiatives - from interactive e-learning and Harvard Business Review downloads to classroom courses at our Learning Centres around the world.

We also encourage every employee to have regular development discussions with their line manager and agree their individual learning plan.

Five building blocks

We base our learning structure around five key areas:

• Induction - our Right Start programme gives new recruits the tools they need to be successful at Standard Chartered.
• Technical learning - our business divisions have function-specific programmes to build the knowledge and skills needed to excel in different roles.
• Management development - we have a range of learning programmes to develop business and people management skills.
• Leadership and executive development - we support our leaders with learning opportunities that include one-to-one coaching and programmes with leading academic institutions.
• Professional development - we combine classroom and e-learning programmes to build skills in business writing, presentations, influencing and negotiating, self management, managing personal change, creative thinking and networking/relationship management.
