Learning and development
We are fully committed to developing our employees to their fullest potential, learning is considered a cornerstone of our success at Sun Life. We work extensively with all our colleagues to understand their training needs and we are proud to provide excellent internal and external training and career development opportunities to meet those needs. We have partnered with many industry leading organisations who provide an extensive range of courses and accreditations related to our business and industry.
We have developed a close relationship with South-East Technological University (SETU), where employees can avail of numerous courses. Sun Life provides generous financial support and flexible working arrangements for employees who enroll in these courses.
Sun Life Ireland also sponsors two prizes for undergraduate IT programs known as the "Sun Life Innovation Award" and the "Sun Life Enterprise Award." As the biggest IT employer in the South-East, it is crucial to develop and maintain a relationship with talented graduates and provide them with local employment opportunities. We have also created “Horizon,” a programme that works with women in I.T. courses and provides them with additional industry relevant training and mentoring.
