Numerous trainings run as part of the grad program included trainings on presentation skills, writing skills, risk training, productivity, optimising mental health. Performance feedback and working with supervisor were also regularly incorporated to address weaknesses.
I did not receive a formal learning the ropes in my team. I believe my previous supervisor was not able to give that well. I had to learn as i do things. When i transferred teams, i was able to be guided well with the things i do and can do. I was exposed to different trainings that help me be more knowledgeable with the company, with how to give training, and be more confident in speaking -- may it be in emails or giving introductions and facilitating training.
The training programmes used to be better. We used to get a graduate certificate from the university of canberra as we did the graduate programme. It was axed for budget reasons, and the trainings they have been making us do in its stead have not been the best substitute. I feel bad because the team in charge of organising our trainings have been trying really hard, but are constricted by the budget.
The training could be more consistent and varied.
