Henri Willig Academy

Within the Henri Willig Group, we attach great importance to the continuous development of our employees. After all, they are an important factor in the success of our organisation. Within our own Henri Willig Academy, various training programmes and courses are offered to further strengthen the talents of our employees. This enables the employee to take responsibility for the goals set within his or her position and make a good contribution to the organisation's goals and his or her own development.

Onboarding

There is a wonderful onboarding programme for new colleagues. During the introduction day in Katwoude, new colleagues are introduced to the Cheese Family, including Wiebe Willig , the general manager. The programme consists of various presentations and a tour of:

Source of learning

To keep developing as an employee, the Henri Willig Academy offers several training courses. These focus on different departments within Henri Willig. These training courses can also be picked up at home, in the form of an E-Learning. A low-threshold way to learn more and test new knowledge. Whether it's a new language, hygiene rules or production, it can all be found in an online learning environment.
With the training courses we offer, we want to inspire, activate and enthuse you to get the best out of yourself every day. By offering training courses that stimulate you in multiple ways to acquire new knowledge, skills and attitudes. With an important goal: to bring about a behavioural change in practice that will make your work more fun and easier and lead to better results.
