CAREER DEVELOPMENT
IBM prides itself on attracting the best and the brightest individuals and is committed to ensuring these individuals continue this momentum by not only enhancing the skills they may already have, but also by continuing to develop new skills throughout their career. This includes the types of training an employee needs to do their current and future jobs as well as other areas outside of their work that will broaden ones experience base.
Employees at IBM are encouraged to take control of their own skills and development and learn to identify resources, build relationships and use personalized learning to their advantage. With the support and tremendous investment that IBM has put forth in continuous, on-demand learning, employees have a plethora of learning offerings and resources to help grow their career.
CAREER PORTLET
In addition to offering personalized learning, IBM offers a tool that helps employees manage their career-related tasks in an easy, consistent and coordinated way, enabling a continuous focus on career development. The Your career portlet provides employees personalized actions and status items related to their career development, along with access to the key resources/activities related to career planning, training, and career development, all in one place.
INDIVIDUAL DEVELOPMENT PLAN IBM provides the "Individual Development Plan" to employees to document development plans and monitor their progress throughout the year. Using this tool and updating it on a continuous basis is just one of the ways that IBM helps keep career development alive and at the fore front of employee's mind over the course of the year. With their manager, employees have development discussions where the conversations evolve around improving the employee’s ability to set career goals and steps to achieve those goals.
BLUE OPPORTUNITIES Blue Opportunities is an initiative designed to help employees take advantage of a range of experience-based learning opportunities such as stretch assignments, cross-unit projects, job rotations, publications, patents, job shadowing and more, that will enhance employees’ careers and expertise. The goal of Blue Opportunities is to develop employees' skills, expand their knowledge and offer exposure to potential career or job changes in a way that they would not typically have exposure to. Opportunities can be a few hours, weeks, months or up to a year, part- or full-time.
CLASSROOM TRAINING Classroom training is available to IBM employees with a range of topics offered: technical, professional skills and certification. This gives employees an opportunity to learn a set of base skills to then apply in their everyday roles. Classroom training is an excellent channel for hands on, face to face learning.
MENTORING In order to succeed in today's competitive environment, corporations must create a workplace climate that encourages employees to continue to learn and grow. While mentoring at IBM focuses on career guidance and socialization, it also responds to the need to preserve expert knowledge. Mentoring provides a robust way to continually pass on critical knowledge and skills as a legacy of organizational capabilities and intelligence to the next generation. IBM encourages employees to be mentored and to mentor others, as it’s a win-win situation for the business.
TUITION REFUND When you take approved courses on your own time, IBM will reimburse you 100% of required fees such as tuition ($1200/course maximum), registration and text books, upon satisfactory completion. The purpose of the Tuition Refund program is to encourage employees to increase their effectiveness in the current job role and their potential to assume different or greater responsibilities within IBM through voluntary participation in external education programs outside regular working hours.
