Learning &
development

All Nationwide colleagues have access to Grow Opportunities, an AI skills tool to help build a high performance career. The tool looks at your current and developing skills, and matches you with internal jobs, projects, career pathways, learning and mentors. It also creates personalised suggestions to develop your skills, enhance your current role, or to help you build towards a future role. A data driven solution to help you open up your career, and future proof your skills in a rapidly changing world.

To complement your development we also offer Grow Learning, which provides tailored recommendations based on how you want to learn and develop. Using your learning goals from development conversations, you'll receive recommended content to help you stay ahead in your career.

Grow Opportunities and Grow Learning are linked as tools which means that you can go from developing your skills to using them to find new opportunities.
