The graduate program offers formal training which is useful. There is also subject matter training for staff which are very informative.

Acknowledging that experiences vary by team, my own was that despite consistently strong feedback structured training was limited; most of my performance relied on existing skills rather than capability developed through the program. The external QUT component is professionally run, yet its alignment with unit tasks appears modest; topics often overlap with prior academic or professional learning, sessions occur only every two months, and no credential is awarded. If retained, I recommend consolidating essential training into an intensive first month to six weeks, followed by targeted on-the-job development, rather than a two-year, intermittent schedule.
