Across Kingspan there is an emphasis on the value of training, with a wide range of training being offered to employees and staff both internally and from outside institutions. Generally, employees receive a formal performance appraisal across the Group which includes an assessment of training needs. Opportunities for sponsorship of external studies are ongoing, where a benefit to the business and job related professional development exist. Leadership courses have been also held on some sites with spare places offered to members of the local community.
