Good, comprehensive graduate training programme.
You will be involved in both professional and personal development training sessions during office hours which will enhance your skills, network and opportunities within City.
So far in this I have completed: - Most of the Best Self Series - All of the Career Series - QDMA training - Disaster Coordination Centre Training - EPS traffic system training - Weather watch software training - Local Disaster Coordination Centre Cell Training: Operations, Facilities, Recovery, Logistics, Planning, Intelligence - Queensland Warnings and Alerts Training - Guardian IMS Training - Psychological First Aid Training - Clifton Strengths Coaching Session
I have attended to one- or two-days trainings related to Bioretention systems and Erosion and Sediment Control, to learn the most updated processes and information to design and assess Water Sensitive Urban projects that directly affect the assets contributed to the City. I also had the chance to network with industry experts and get access to valuable information related to case of study in different councils. The trainings are listed below: - Bioretention and Wetland training - Healthy Land and Water - No cost for the council - Bioretention Detailed Design Training - Healthy Land and Water - No cost for the Council - ESC2 Intermediate Erosion and Sediment Control - Topo - Paid by the council - The Best Self Series and the leading expertise training (Presenting with Confidence, Business Writing Essentials, and Interviewee Techniques): Those trainings allowed me to identify and utilise my strengths and weakness in a better way professionally and personally speaking.
This has been a highlight of the graduate academy and something that has made my time here so worthwhile. Specifically, the best self series was great at bringing awareness to professional skills that can always be developed. Additionally, the Clifton strength assessment was awesome. I have not done my 1:1 coaching session off the back of this yet however, I do feel to be more impactful, these could start earlier in the year and could involve 2 follow-up sessions across the 12-months.
