Lancaster Laboratories University

Our company believes that learning is a never-ending process—one that challenges employees' curiosities, interests, and inclinations to acquire an ever-expanding knowledge base. Training takes place internally through Lancaster Laboratories University (LLU) and several other external venues including tuition-paid degree courses at colleges and universities, non-traditional on-line classes, trade-association meetings, and specialized conferences, workshops and seminars. LLU also offers an extensive video library for self-paced, independent study. For new employees, our orientation program lasts throughout the first year of employment and aids in the transition process. That early training includes mandatory coursework in business ethics, laboratory safety, and quality management. LLU courses also allow employees to expand their skills and abilities to keep up with changing technology. The curriculum is intermeshed with the knowledge and skill base needed to fulfill requirements for advancement. Using LLU's extremely detailed course catalog, management and employees map out a plan from the core, computer, management, safety, and technical curriculums. Outside the company, employees are encouraged to participate in broader training and attend trade-associated meetings at the company's expense. We also put a high emphasis on the pursuit of bachelor-level and advanced degrees in areas associated with our business. Through our generous tuition-reimbursement program, coursework for these degrees is reimbursed in full upon course completion providing the student has earned a grade of C or better.
