Developing Your Skills and Potential

Everyone who joins Pearson has the opportunity to build on their abilities, learn new skills and explore their potential. We have training specialists that will help you plan your progress and, not surprisingly given the nature of our business, we have a wide range of courses and activities that will help you go in the direction you’ve chosen.

We also believe in the effectiveness of learning while you’re doing your job and we make extensive use of mentoring – including linking people up with international mentors from other parts of the company. In fact, we get as much value as we can from the size and scope of the business. We bring colleagues together - both virtually and face-to-face - to discuss ideas on all kinds of subjects including marketing, digital technology, trends in education and more.

Our ability to draw on expertise and knowledge from around the world is one of the things that makes working for PESA such a valuable experience. It’s also possible for employees to travel internationally on short term assignments, gaining exposure to different ways of working, insights into new markets and a chance to gain fresh perspectives on the business and on themselves.
