SCA is committed to offering employees the opportunity to develop their skills and potential. Processes for leadership development, talent management, succession planning and recruitment are increasingly important as SCA extends its presence globally.
SCA offers a variety of training programs for employees in all parts of the world. The SCA employee development programs link the employee's individual motivation to personal development and SCA's growing need for increased expertise and knowledge.
SCA Packaging conducted a two-stage development programme in 2006 for 125 managers at its facilities in China.The programs include technical education courses, leadership and business development training and other forms of further education and skills upgrading in different areas of the Group’s operations.

SCA did recently develop and implement a new global management development program, The Leadership Academy. The program was created to ensure the company is well equipped with talent to meet current and future needs.
It also supports the mobility of managers between the business groups by creating a common base of core leadership skills, builds internal networks between developing leaders across business groups, and reinforces SCA’s commitment to its Mission, Vision, Values and Code of Conduct.
