Majority of my training has been on the job, asking questions of my team and spending time figuring things out myself - which I prefer. Your training is very rotation dependent, so not all graduates will receive identical training. You are assigned a mentor in your first week, I've been lucky and have great conversations and support with my mentor. As for performance feedback, I believe we might get a more formal review at the 6-month mark.
Overall, training has been quite good, at least when it comes to the general systems and processes within the company, but rotation managers personalities vary significantly, and not all of them seem keen into training or supporting. However, because of the structure of the company, it is easy to find support in different instances. There is also an early careers development program which helps you acquire leadership skills that will be useful for any role in the future, and I think it is very helpful they focus training not only on the technical side, but also on personal development.
Was trained for certification of electrical risks and entry into electrically hazardous areas such as substations. Also trained for the usage of different application which PowerCo uses internally which is also applicable in other EDBs
Helpful staff to teach you.
