Cognis college

Nothing succeeds like success. To enhance your success as a manager, it’s necessary to actively develop your competencies. That’s not only good for you, it’s good for Cognis too. So, by launching our own training program under the roof of the Cognis College, we want to develop not only our performance but also our unique corporate culture. You know that we can only reach our ambitious goals by continuing to learn, and that is why we wish to invest in our managers.

The College offers corporate training programs to address our global and regional Management Development needs in line with our Cultural Principles. They are coordinated by Talent Management and adapted continuously. The College aims to improve Cognis’ performance through development of its managers and to foster a common company culture as expressed in our Cultural Principles.

This is how the new training program reflects the Cognis cultural approach and attitude toward Management Development:

Focused on your needs and business
Every training offer responds to our future challenges and your current development requirements, in line with global needs. We’ll also update courses, whenever necessary.

Designed by Cognis experts
All programs have been set up in cooperation with our subject-matter experts. This ensures that your new skills will be of real use, so you’ll achieve more than before.

Transferring know-how to your work environment
Attending a training course makes a lot of sense. However, your "real” development takes place on the job – after the lessons you’ve taken "kick off” your self-improvement process. That’s why all the training focuses on putting theory into practice.

Achieving a higher ROI through cost-effectiveness
The regional principle of the College means that all topics are available in Europe, the Americas, and in the Asia-Pacific region.
