What training and development do you offer?
No matter which part of Honeywell you join, training and development is a
priority. It's all about continuous development of the individual, making sure
you have the right skills to continue innovating and pushing the boundaries in
your role.
Technical training depends on the business you join and the role you're in.
Throughout our businesses, we tailor training to the individual. Typically
you'll receive a mixture of on-the-job training and structured training with
internal and external courses. It's worth asking this question during the
selection process.
