There is a mix of training programs, especially for graduates. Most are very useful and insightful; however, some could be tedious or unnecessary (an entire day on how to use Outlook for example). I appreciate the opportunity we had for psychometric testing and confidential 1:1 coaching to improve our lower-scoring traits. This personal development is beneficial for workplace interactions and opening up more opportunities.
Trainings that offered has been interesting and useful. Only suggestion will be the duration. Some trainings were way too long .
There are numerous opportunities for formal and informal training. I am currently learning about project management and organisational development on the job. I have also been given the opportunity to develop my public speaking skills. I have attended in person training sessions in Autism Awareness, Confidence Fitness and Emotional Intelligence. I have also undertaken various online training courses such as project management and business writing.
CPA is an essential development opportunity and the department supports the program. The performance feedback is something that can be developed and implemented further. Mentoring is quite good, on the job.
