- Customised, professional development programmes for practitioners are run by Group functions such as Marketing and Human Resources.
- Global transformation teams such as Improving performance together run training to enhance the employee engagement skills of all of their project teams.

In 2006 Rio Tinto will undertake a comprehensive review of all its training activities to ensure we continue to give learning and development opportunities to our employees which are business relevant and personally rewarding.
