Training & Education

Our own success is linked to yours, so we’ve developed a structured program to help professional people such as yourself make the most of their individual capabilities. Our Core Curriculum provides learning and development opportunities in the following areas:

• Individual effectiveness
• Team effectiveness
• Business effectiveness
• Professional expertise
• Managing a team
• Managing managers

In addition, we offer curricula specializing in several functional areas.

Our Core Curriculum will ensure that you acquire all the essential skills you need in order to perform your role properly, while preparing you for the next level. The diagram above shows how the Core Curriculum is structured, and gives some examples of the courses you may benefit from during your first few years with us. The modules covering Thought Leadership, Driving Strategic Initiatives and Managing Functional Managers are particularly valuable, especially as Philips is one of very few companies to offer job opportunities in these areas. We also offer both internal and external programs in association with several top international business schools in different countries.
