First Eagle believes ongoing investment in our people is essential to sustaining our high-performance culture. In addition to meeting the requirements mandated by the laws and regulations to which we are subject, we offer a variety of bespoke training programs and targeted financial support to promote our colleagues' professional development.

First Eagle sponsors a customized leadership development program in partnership with Columbia Business School. A group of 25 high-performing employees is chosen biannually to participate in this rigorous 18-month program designed to provide them with the training and hands-on experience needed to better understand themselves, effectively influence and inspire others, and lead the organization. Our Education Assistance Program reimburses the expenses of employees enrolled in accredited degree programs, taking job- or industry-related courses, and pursuing professional certifications.

As part of the leadership development program, employees have proposed and implemented innovative solutions for business improvement. By enabling high-performing employees the opportunity to learn, play, and work cross­functionally, First Eagle continued to benefit from their leadership.
