Lead Learning & Development Specialist

The Global Learning & Development (L&D) department is based in the Global Talent Management organization, which is part of our People & Culture function.

In L&D we intend to empower business performance by promoting an inclusive learning culture and operations model that allows people to develop critical competencies that meet our strategic needs.

We aim to fulfill this vision by concentrating on the following objectives:

• Establish a solid L&D foundation
• Develop a learning culture & make L&D business-critical
• Enable our colleagues' growth
• Enable functional training & scaling

We support these goals through numerous projects, including:

• The Vestas Academy: we curate the learning offerings and learning journeys to develop core skills for our learners and for which we coordinate learning providers (vendors)
• Our L&D Advisory: we advise internal customers from across the business on best practices regarding learning and development (e.g., needs analysis guidance, content development, and review)
• Global Onboarding: we define the global onboarding process, facilitate a global onboarding network, curate and develop the e-learning journey
• Global Commercial Development program: we curate and communicate function-specific skill-development offerings for our commercial colleagues
• Competency Framework: we are in the process of adopting a Korn Ferry Competency Framework (comprised of 12 competencies) to ensure one assessment and development tool across our Vestas employee lifecycle. The implementation of this competency framework is the newest addition to our L&D project portfolio
