Professional Development

You want to go far in your career. We can help. At Aetna there are plenty of ways to expand
your skills.

Development planning
Your manager and you will create a development plan. The plan includes goals, actions and deadlines. You will meet regularly to discuss progress and make updates.

Job assignments  
A good way to learn is on the job. We encourage you to take on assignments that will enhance skills or build new ones. Working on projects in other areas within the company is another way to grow.

Coaching 
Your manager will offer feedback to help you perform well. We also offer:

• Mentoring
  We think mentoring helps you to reach career goals. You can become a mentor to share your skills. Or be a mentee and learn under the guidance of a coworker.
• Formal training 
  We offer many training options for building the skills needed to be successful. Training may take place in a classroom, online or other mediums.
• Tuition assistance
  We give financial assistance to eligible employees who are enrolled in a college degree program or working on college course work that is job related.
