Our Training and Education Philosophy:

We at Teledyne have long recognized that people are our most important asset. Our policy is to promote from within the company whenever possible. The Teledyne training programs are an essential part of that policy. Education is a life long activity, and we encourage every employee to participate regularly in training programs both within and outside the company. The involvement of your time will pay dividends for many years in the form of continued opportunities for growth - by Teledyne and each of its employers.

Our Company Environment:

Our belief is that we must provide, to those people who have the ability and desire to expand their knowledge, the means to do so. This is not an altruistic concept but rather a matter of survival. To prepare for the future, we are looking ahead ten years to define the types of people we will need and the skills that will be required. This vision of our future requirements is a critical enabler to having people, with the appropriate skills, in place when and where they are needed. By defining our objectives, we position ourselves to provide a 'development roadmap' to the people in the organization who want more responsibility.

Our Long Term Commitment:

When the time our employees invest in the classroom is added to the development and delivery costs of the training we provide, we will be investing well over a million dollars. We obviously would not do this if we did not expect returns that significantly exceed our investment. We believe that our enhanced approach to training and employee development is the most direct route to improved competitiveness and the satisfaction of the current and future expectations of our customers. We are looking to our people to deliver a significant return on both Teledyne's and their own personal investment and are continually improving our learning environment to achieve that goal. Our shared vision at Teledyne is to build a growing business that provides our customers good value, our shareholders a good return on their investment and our people a work environment in which they can prosper.
