Training in the graduate program is very deliberate and helpful, I feel like I have learned a lot. Built-in mentoring program gets you connected with those at a high level so you get a good perspective on progression.

The grads have training one day each fortnight where we get together and learn about all sorts of things from workplace health to what makes good policy. We also all have senior executive staff mentors who we see 1:1 monthly. I have learnt so much I can't put it into an answer and its only been 6 months.

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.
