I think the agency has gone above and beyond to provide development opportunities for me.
There has been a graduate development program that has been run by the APSC, but other than that most of the learning provided has been on the job training and self-learning exercises that have been recommended by staff within the team.
GDP has been mediocre but I have found value in the in-person events and some of the speakers and topics during that training. The digital training was again quite mediocre but easy to get through but didnt gain anything from that. However, theres always opportunity to develop for example I have enrolled in a stakeholder engagement course, and had the opportunity to attend the A11y Camp.
There has been some mandatory training, but not much. Most of the formal training I have done has been external. On the job training has led to me gaining many skills in my area and occasionally surrounding areas.
