Management training courses, or leadership courses as they are now more popularly called, will be delivered by academics from Anglia Ruskin’s Lord Ashcroft International Business School at Willmott Dixon’s purpose-built training centre in Basingstoke.
The courses and qualifications are accredited by the university.
The company’s Management Development Level (MDL) 3 programme allows senior managers to accrue credits to progress to the MA in Leadership course, starting with the Postgraduate Certificate.
Willmott Dixon invests around £2m a year on training and development, providing an average of four and a half training days per employee, compared to an industry average of two days. Around 40 Willmott Dixon managers are enrolled on MDL3 each year.
Group chief executive Rick Willmott said: “Staff development is a huge part of what our company is about. We’ve recognised that for many years the best place to grow talent is from within the business.
“Partnering with Anglia Ruskin University is a significant step for us. We chose them because they support the core values of our company and I know they will strengthen our internal programmes.”
