What the Van Talent Development Programme represents is a fantastic opportunity for individuals to develop their skills and ambitions with a global brand.
The evidence shows that we tend to learn through a series of different methodology, 70% of that is experiential training or experiential learning and that means on the job training, 20% of that is through engagement with colleagues or peer groups or with a network that is associated with the job you are doing and 10% is through formal training, so the opportunity to bring colleagues together on a single programme and keep them together through 18 months provides them with a wonderful opportunity to learn through experiential learning via a wider peer group.
Certainly the product is superb, we’ve got class leading products and we offer class leading services and what we want is class leading people to take those products and services to the next level.
