Professional development – a priority goal
Our quest to promote the potential of wind power requires excellence at every level of our organisation. That is why we invest heavily in your professional training and development. Wherever in the world you are based, we know that by achieving your full potential as an individual, you will help us achieve our full potential as an organisation,
To guide your evolution through the company, you will have annual Performance & Development Dialogues with your manager. By looking back at your achievements over the previous twelve months and by setting new development goals for the year ahead, you will benefit from a continual learning experience, with significant professional and personal rewards.
Boosting competency – performing at your best
To ensure that everyone in Vestas has equal opportunities to develop and advance, job roles and training structures are globally defined. Furthermore, we encourage you to learn skills and gain qualifications that go beyond the confines of your present role, to see how far your contribution to the company can be expanded.
We always look to the future, so your development includes not only practical training essential for fulfilling your own role, but also the more strategic skills necessary for operating as part of a truly global company.
Opportunities across every discipline
Around the world, we provide development and learning opportunities designed to channel talented colleagues through each of our three equally-weighted career tracks: People & Business leadership (for people managers), Knowledge & Innovation leadership (for technical or business experts), and Project Leadership (for project managers).
It is important to remember that advancement at Vestas does not always mean climbing the ladder upwards. Many colleagues expand their ability range and gain great job satisfaction by transferring into other business units of Vestas, or by crossing over into a different career path (for example, a specialist in Knowledge & Innovation might become a manager in People & Business). Others choose to explore their options for playing a more international role within the organisation. We think it is important to encourage all avenues of development, so do our best to align personal targets with the needs of the company.

Accessing a world of knowledge
As expected for a company operating at the cutting-edge of technology, we will provide you with e-learning courses to further expand your talents and increase your mobility within the organisation. These award-winning courses are available both during the induction process and throughout your career with us.
Our global e-learning programme, Vestas World, allows you to interact with virtual characters or other learners for a shared development experience, helping you to understand our values, culture and commercial proposition.
