At Republic Services, training and development are vital components of our culture. It’s important that we build our talent pipeline, and that we develop the skills of our current employees to not only be successful in their roles, but to advance within the organization.
Recently, as part of recognizing diversity of backgrounds and experiences, Republic Services removed a college degree as a requirement or preference for the majority of our roles. The goal is to create additional opportunities for our employees, attract new talent and make our company stronger.
In addition, we have a number of training and development programs for current employees at all levels to ensure you have the skills to be successful in your role and the opportunity to advance within the organization. Here are three featured training and development opportunities highlighted in the 2022 Sustainability Report:
CDL Training
No CDL? No problem. Republic Services offers prospective drivers the opportunity to train for their commercial driver’s license while becoming familiar with Republic’s collection trucks and processes. The CDL program is a formal training, including a minimum of 50 hours of drive time with a certified Republic Services behind-the-wheel instructor to prepare participants to pass state CDL exams.
Leadership Fundamentals
Leadership Fundamentals is a two-day, in-person workshop for field leaders that focuses on communication, engagement, driving performance, providing feedback, coaching, leading difficult conversations and leadership styles.
University of Phoenix partnership
Republic Services has partnered with the University of Phoenix on advanced education opportunities for our employees. The University of Phoenix offers over 70 degree programs, industry-relevant programs and professional development courses, with tuition savings for Republic employees toward a bachelor’s or master’s degree.
