— GETP Leadership Learning Week – a part of the GETP Journey
During the 24 month Global Early Talent Program Journey, the participants are guided through a learning journey on core competency development focusing on Personal Leadership, Teamwork & Collaboration, Customer and Market orientation and Change Management. This journey aims to complement and support the functional knowledge and expertise gained through the various on-the-job assignments as well as offer opportunities for the participants to connect, learn and grow individually as well as a group.
Throughout the journey, ABBs LLE coaches support and guide the participants through various modules and exercises and learning content (i.e. presentation skills, project management skills and agile working methods) to support the daily activities in their assignments and personal growth but also to prepare them for the Learning Week project challenge.
The Learning Week Project Challenge is a collaboration between the Business, Functions and GETP, where the participants are assigned to real ABB business cases presented by a Sponsor approximately 2 months before and expected to deliver a presentation on their research during the Learning Week.
The Learning Week is week of intense discussions, brainstorming, pushing boundaries and performance while also being a week of connecting, building friendships and having fun.
