		All P&G employees are learners, no matter if they've worked with P&G for 30 years or 30 minutes. Here at P&G, we have a commitment to training our employees throughout their careers. We're dedicated to the continued growth of all employees, because we know the Company can grow only through the efforts, talents and skills of our employees. It's important to note that on-the-job learning is a way of life at P&G. As a P&G employee, continued growth is important to leverage your strength areas and build additional skills that will enable you to be more effective in your assignments. Coaching can come from your manager, team members and key stakeholders, all with the intent of helping you to be successful.

Learning opportunities can be delivered by your Function or Business Unit, or via a central learning and development group. Functional training usually deals with the specific technical skills you need to learn in order to do your job effectively. Business Unit training might focus on the unique challenges or focus areas for the organization. Additionally, there are many formal leadership and business training courses available to you in a variety of places:

	In the classroom at a local training center, such as the John Pepper Learning Center

	Online through the use of technology, such as Web-based training or Live Distance training, and

	Right on the job with managers, mentors and peers

	Leadership

This is just a sampling of the training and development topics that will be available to you throughout your career at P&G. Each course is designed to help build your knowledge and skills through short, memorable and intense learning experiences that drive the behaviors and performance needed for future success.

In addition, having access to P&G's intranet training Web site, Rapid Learn, means that you have immediate access to these learning experiences: classroom training, Web-based training, live distance training and self-study training that you can take right at your desk.
