Introduction Transforming care Investing in our people Accelerating possibilities Protecting the environment Creating value responsibly Appendix GROW goes global Our development program GROW — Give Real Opportunities for Valuable Work Experience — was inspired by conversations with employees who build our medical devices and are interested in furthering their careers in business roles. In 2022, we launched 16 additional GROW cohorts and established a framework to guide the initiative’s global implementation. By year's end, nearly 200 product builders and technicians had graduated from the program at 10 Boston Scientific sites, including Heredia, Costa Rica, Cork, Ireland, Penang, Malaysia and several cities in the United States. We offer three GROW tracks so participants can choose the option that best matches their objectives. Each curriculum enlists people leaders to mentor participants through classroom and hands-on training sessions. Based on feedback and results to date, the program is helping us develop and promote direct labor and supply chain employees into new roles. “ This was one of the best experiences I have had during my time here! I would recommend the GROW program to anyone in our supply chain network who is interested in advancing their career.” Jenn Rivas supervisor, Distribution Operations Management 24 2022 Performance Report
