Grow with us – A dedication to your development through learning opportunities 

As part of our dedication to overall employee professional development, we offer a variety of options for employees to engage in learning and skill advancement opportunities:

Viterra Mentorship Program

Because of our flat business structure, we offer a mentorship program that connects employees at all levels. This six-month program empowers mentees as they develop their career steps by:

• Providing additional support and meaningful advice from a seasoned professional
• Enhancing their leadership and business-relationship skills
• Growing their business knowledge relating to the Viterra structure and the ag industry
• Participating in professional development opportunities
• Networking and building relationships within the Viterra community
• Exploring our different departments

Elevate Program

Viterra’s leadership development program, Elevate, empowers high-potential leaders within our organization looking for their next steps towards a management position. Our groups of 10-12 cross-functional candidates throughout the US are nominated by executives across all departments.

These influential individuals’ complete leadership courses covering important skills necessary for management such as public speaking, business functions, and critical thinking. They also gain hands-on experience through our capstone projects that vary year to year based on current business-identified needs.

With this program running six to nine months, we’ve partnered with Creighton University in Omaha, Nebraska for their expert business instructors to provide valuable insight and resources as these nominees prepare to enter the management world.

Colleagues who graduated from the Elevate program mentioned improved development of:

• Leadership skills as they collaborate with different departments across the Viterra network
• Strategic thinking as they learn more about Viterra and our functions
• Time management
• Public speaking and presentation skills
• Executive presence exposure

To top it off, most nominees received at least one promotion within Viterra after graduating the program. Elevate program provides the incredible opportunity for our employees to grow soft skills, leadership capabilities and their management exposure towards becoming the executive or director they’re meant to be.

Educational Assistance Program

For colleagues looking to pursue an academic degree or certification as they advance their ag career, Viterra provides an Educational Assistance Program to minimize student loans and optimize professional learning. This allows our people to continue working with us as they complete classes to improve their current role or prepare for a future role with Viterra. Upon approval, full-time employees may potentially receive up to 100% reimbursement for their selected courses.  By learning from the best in the field, our people will strengthen their skillset, build their confidence and grow their passion for their field within Viterra.

External Resources

We purposefully offer a wide variety of resources and opportunities for our employees to improve their professional expertise. In the past, we’ve brought in instructors for new management to set our talented people up for success in the corporate world. We hope to continue expanding our course options to meet any niche skill our colleagues would like to explore.

Viterra understands the importance of building an inclusive workforce.

As an equal opportunity employer, we seek out the best talent around the world and create a work environment that is welcoming to everyone. 

Women's Leadership Council (WLC)

This group provides training and networking opportunities for women with the goal of elevating the skills necessary to become future leaders and decision makers throughout the company. WLC is run by a Board of Directors and hosts numerous events and programs both men and women can get involved in throughout the US and Mexico region throughout the year.
