Employee development

Securing and providing development opportunities for our employees is essential for Vattenfall’s success.

Our people have the chance to work in various disciplines, business areas, countries and cultures. We need people who view challenges as opportunities to be seized and are keen to develop themselves professionally and personally. We also recognise that world-class management is crucial to our ability to meet the challenges of the global energy market.

Competence development and transfer

Experienced and competent employees are critical to our future operations and continuous competence development is of great importance. We offer and foster our employees’ development in several ways. Besides various forms of functional and technical training, there are also personal development training courses that focus on for instance language, presentation or moderation.

Apart from our training offers, there are always new and interesting challenges ‘on the job’ where our employees can prove and develop their skills during their daily business.

International mobility

As a large multicultural corporation, we need employees with broad international experience. Thus, we encourage employees to work across international and company borders in order to build up a wider network, to support their cultural awareness as well as their language skills.

Special programmes for managers

Excellent leaders are key drivers of the company. We are steadily developing our Vattenfall global leadership development programmes which are offered to all managers. The goal is to support managers in their role as adaptable and flexible leaders in an international and multicultural environment. Furthermore, it is important to create value through leadership by facilitating personal development.

However, it is most important that you pro-actively contribute to your own personal development.
