Q&A
Q: How does Cassidy approach learning and development differently?
A: We take a hands-on, practical approach to development. Rather than relying on one-off training, we support our people continuously – on site, in real projects, and over the long term.
It’s not common in our industry to have a dedicated learning and development function, but for us it’s a priority. Our role is to make sure every person has the support, training and opportunities they need to perform at a high level, no matter what their role is.
Q: What kind of learning opportunities do your people have?
A: Learning takes many forms at Cassidy. This includes on-the-job coaching, face-to-face workshops, online learning, and external training with industry experts. We focus on making learning practical and relevant, so it can be applied directly to the work our people are doing, whether on-site or office-based.
Q: What’s your in-house trainer’s role?
A: Having an in-house trainer allows us to tailor development to our projects and our people. It means training is practical, targeted and aligned with how we actually work, so learning can be applied immediately on-site and in the office.
