Unlocking your potential

Across all job roles, from early in career to leadership, our portfolio of resources and bespoke learning experiences are designed to support you throughout your career at AstraZeneca. Our people can learn in a multitude of ways, whether that’s on the job or using our selection of learning resources and interactive learning experiences. It’s all about helping you take ownership of your personal development to learn, grow and perform at your full potential.

For us, it’s about tapping into our natural curiosity to embrace a ‘learning mindset’ – thinking differently about learning, spotting those moments in real-time and being proactive in applying it. Underpinning this is our forward-thinking approach to performance development. One where we focus on looking forward – not back – and how we build your strengths to develop you over the long-term through coaching and feedforward. Our 3Es framework (Experience, Exposure and Education) supports you to find formal and informal learning moments every day, accelerating your development.  

With a diverse portfolio of learning programmes and resources, we offer something for everyone – from new joiners and aspiring managers to senior leaders and high performing teams.

Preparing you for the future

Our culture of lifelong learning strengthens our collective capability to learn new skills and build on our existing skills. Being ready and equipped to embrace challenges and seize the opportunities that lie ahead isn’t just important for our people and teams – it’s critical to every one of us in this fast-changing world. No matter where we work or what we do. In the spirit of learning, we endeavour to share our tools and resources with the global network. We proudly share our professional skills development offering with the Young Health Impact Fellows, designed with the aim of nurturing the next generation of health leaders.
