Development

Development is an integral part of life at Unilever. And there are many ways in which you will develop your skills, both professional and personal.

On the job

You'll learn much of what you need to know by working with knowledgeable colleagues and receiving regular coaching and feedback. Wherever you join, in whatever capacity, you'll have a wide variety of experiences developing skills relevant to your job and giving you an overview of how our company works.

Professional skills

We have an internet-based learning management system that includes over 100 e-courses. Plus an online library (Books 24x7) that contains thousands of leading titles. Both enable you to learn at your own pace and take control of your development.

In some areas you can study part-time towards professional qualifications. Our programmes provide study and exam leave as well as financial support.

There are also opportunities to be involved in global and regional projects including the possibility of working for a time at a Unilever office in another country.

Continual update

Each function has its own Academy - a team that continually updates its professional learning curriculum. E-learning modules are then made available on a dedicated intranet portal. Here you'll also find the very latest news, articles and thinking. Essentially, everything you need to keep in touch with the business.

Personal development

Passion, energy and creative thinking are traits that you'll already have when you join. But equally important is the ability to understand who you are as an individual and what you want to achieve from your career. We offer a whole range of personal development opportunities which can be tailored to your specific goals.

Mentoring

There are many people on hand to help with your learning and development. In particular your mentor. They will encourage and support you, answer questions, help build your self-confidence and offer invaluable advice.
