Toggle main navigation Section navigation About Us Careers Why Valmet Career development Career development At Valmet, you’re not through with learning at the end of orientation – quite the opposite. We encourage you to gain new skills and grow professionally throughout your career with us and provide the opportunities to do so. We don’t believe learning only happens in the classroom so we follow a 70-20-10 learning approach; 70% occurs through on the job learning, 20% through learning relationships and 10% through structured learning. On the job learning, however, does not include throwing anyone in the deep end without proper training. Learning begins as soon as someone joins us, with an in-depth, structured onboarding plan to help the newcomer familiarize themselves with their role, their colleagues and Valmet as a whole. Next up are functional basics and Valmet fundamentals, which apply to all Valmet employees and cover issues such as processes, tools, safety and more. The business lines, areas and functions also contribute to the training mix, holding trainings on relevant business critical issues. Once equipped with the knowledge you need to succeed, you’re free to take a dip. Valmet's global training portfolio is designed to motivate individuals and inspire new thinking, bring minds together from around the world, and ultimately, support growth and drive our strategic initiatives and Must-Wins. When building these programs we do not settle for the ordinary but create new learning methods – like the Dragon's Den to mark the conclusion of the Innovation Pathways program. In 2020, we are running six global training programs: Champions in Services, Leading through Lean, Sales Journey, Innovation Pathways, Excellence in Project Management and a new program called Forward Together. So far more than 2300 Valmet professionals have participated the programs since they began in 2015 and the feedback and results have been great.

An inside look at how Valmet develops its managers Valmet has been systematically developing its managers since becoming an independent company in 2014. The framework for how we develop our managers was created based on the manager role and values. Lean brings results in Portugal In Leading through Lean, the value of the projects lie in the project and the potential to apply similar thinking to other parts of the business. A good example is Ovar where one person’s attendance sparked a Lean initiative that continues to build momentum today. Projects that pay back In 2015, Valmet saw the completion of 150 projects – all of which supported individual development and the achievement of our Must-Wins.
