Training and Development

Learning at gategroup helps our people grow today while building the capabilities we need for the future. Guided by our company strategy, we translate the skills that matter most into relevant learning opportunities across roles and career stages.

Our learning is built on internal and external resources and shaped by people closest to the work,  from operations leaders and chefs to safety experts, specialists and experienced managers, making development practical and relevant.

We believe growth goes beyond preparing for your next role. It’s about building confidence, broadening perspectives and strengthening your impact throughout your career.

Last year, employee participation in training grew by nearly 40% year over year, reflecting a culture where learning and sharing expertise are part of how we grow together.

Getting started. From day one, structured onboarding helps you understand your role, make connections and build confidence.

Building momentum. As your career grows, you can shape your development around your role, ambitions and interests through:

• Global Mentoring Program
• Industry events and conferences
• On-the-job learning
• Job shadowing
• Job rotations and cross-functional experiences
• Internal and external training that is live, virtual and blended

Becoming a people manager.

Dedicated development helps new people managers build practical skills in communication, feedback, performance, engagement and team leadership.

Developing your leadership.

As your responsibilities grow, practical learning, peer exchange and coaching help you strengthen your impact, navigate change and prepare for broader responsibilities.

You can also share your expertise through train-the-trainer development and coaching workshops.

People learn in different ways, and our opportunities reflect that. Across our global organization, development is available in formats designed for different roles, environments and learning preferences:

•  In-person training for hands-on learning
• Virtual sessions offering flexibility
• Blended digital and face-to-face learning
• Self-directed learning at your own pace
• Instructor-led workshops focused on interaction and practice

Our digital learning portfolio also offers courses, articles, audiobooks and other resources, making it easier to fit learning around your role and your life.

There’s no single path to building a career at gategroup. Our people grow by exploring new roles, moving across functions, taking on different challenges or bringing their experience to another part of our global organization.

We encourage internal mobility, creating opportunities to broaden your experience and take your career in new directions, whether that means a different role, a different function or an opportunity in another country.

Career growth isn’t always about moving straight up. Sometimes the most valuable move is sideways, into something new or towards an opportunity you hadn’t considered before.

Being part of a global organization means working alongside people with different backgrounds, experiences and perspectives, creating opportunities to learn from one another every day. Learning goes beyond formal training. A new project, a conversation with a colleague or a different approach to a familiar challenge can broaden your perspective and build your experience. With colleagues across countries, cultures and areas of expertise, there is always something new to learn.

Leadership development offering at gategroup grows with you from preparing to lead a team for the first time to taking on broader strategic responsibilities.

Early development focuses on communication, feedback and effective team leadership. As responsibilities grow, it expands to leading other leaders, navigating change and strengthening business impact. At senior levels, the focus shifts towards strategic leadership, transformation and leading through complexity.

We believe leadership is broader than a job title. Employees at every level can explore what good leadership looks like and develop the capabilities to make a positive impact.
