The spirit of lifelong learning is powerful at Schneider Electric. Globally, our employees are empowered to develop to his or her fullest potential, through equal opportunities for ongoing development. Beyond that, employees are actively tasked with completing seven hours of logged training annually. We enjoy a unique learning culture where we encourage employees to take an active role in owning and advancing their career. Through academies, Leadership Development Centers, internal learning tools, and more, employees can sharpen their skills and broaden their horizons. We emphasize proactive thinking about career development, beyond entities and across geographies.
