PEOPLE
UNLOCKING CAREER DEVELOPMENT AND
LEARNING OPPORTUNITIES
At Accupac, we want our employees to meet their full potential. During the 昀椀rst week of work,
employees participate in a series of training courses that cover the history of the company,
safety, quality, and more. They also complete formal classroom training, online training, and onthe-job training to support onboarding. Department and role-speci昀椀c development programs
then provide additional professional growth opportunities.
Our philosophy and approach are outlined in the Career Management section of our
Employee Handbook.
