We invest in professional development to create high-performing teams.

A vital component of our cultural framework is caring for employees, which includes investing in their learning and development. At Metallus, we honor our commitment by designing meaningful learning opportunities for employees at all levels and providing support for current employees – and future employees – who want to gain new skills and knowledge.

Below are highlighted learning and development opportunities for current employees:

  • Position-specific, hands-on training that helps prepare our employees for success.
  • Annual development plans and optional 360 reviews for holistic and formative feedback.

  • Leveraging external partners for training opportunities to acquire advanced skills, like planning strategies and scheduling. Workshops include focused instruction and simulation exercises.
