Continuing Education & Tuition Reimbursement
We encourage our employees to continually enhance their ability to contribute to the success of the organization and advance their careers. Charles River carries out this commitment by assisting with the cost of continued education. Under the Tuition Reimbursement Policy, we encourage employees to pursue courses or a program of study that will benefit both the employee and Charles River. We also have special partnerships with several universities to help employees accomplish their education goals.

Sabbatical Program
The Charles River Sabbatical Program provides employees with four weeks of paid leave that they can devote to benefitting themselves or others. Employees can engage in activities that further career development or community service activities that nurture personal development. This program promotes a culture that supports personal growth and celebrates the contributions of our employees, both inside and outside the workplace. The Sabbatical Program is available to all full‑time employees with at least five years of service.

Charles River employees are given the opportunity to develop and build a strong foundation of leadership skills and professional excellence. Customised programs are available to support capacity building of those who aspire to be leaders, all the way to top level seasoned executives.

At Charles River, we believe in growing our talent from within. We encourage and inspire employees to explore and apply their talent and capabilities to new roles in different areas of our business portfolio. This gives our employees the opportunity to expand their knowledge, unleash their hidden potential and propel their career forward.
