Training and Development

Agilent Technologies understands that that collective skill of our employees is our corporate capability and thus, critical to our success. Toward that end, Agilent is deeply committed to providing an environment where employees can expand their knowledge, develop new skills and contribute their best work.

Time and again, research has demonstrated that the most effective development occurs when learning is applied to on-the-job, real-business problems. What works best is a blend of approaches that allow employees to learn while doing their day-to-day jobs. The following three approaches to employee development are used at Agilent and are provided based on business need:

  • Work Assignments: Challenging jobs, special assignments, project initiatives and job rotations.
  • Learning from Others: Coaching, mentoring, and networking with internal and external people with experience or expertise.
  • Training: Specific technical and business skill development provided internally by Agilent or externally by qualified educational institutions via a classroom, online, or self-study format.
