We have Cochlear academy which is a good stepping stone or foundational knowledge to any role that we want to know about. Learned about each discipline in engineering does in the company and the processes involved. Development is selfinitiatilised, rather than being a core part of every Cochlear employee. Performance feedback is common with managers, and mentoring with interns is quite good. Mentors are generally quite involved and do everything in their power to help their buddies improve and get through unfamiliar grounds.
I do not come across a lot of training in the grad role. I believe training is something you have to seek out, but it is not clear what avenues there are to do this
I am still new to the company, which means it will take me some time to understand and explore all of the opportunities available to me. Overall, I have had really great meetings with mentors and certain leaders that have given me advice, helped me develop skills, as well as assist me in figuring out my path/direction. I have also been referred to great learning resources and materials to improve on skills such as my technical confidence (e.g. Excel), public speaking, slide deck creation, and business-based literacy.
Mandatory formal training is well structure and easy to follow (cochlear academy). In regards to technical skills those are mainly picked up on the job and by asking more senior engineers.
