Training & Personal Development at Bankwest

My role requires looking at various technologies and I've been given access to online video tutorials. Research is business as usual for my team so I personally have picked up lots of those skills since I started here. I’ve also been able to learn new skills from collaborating with other teams  

As part of my development, I’ve had training modules available online and seminars delivered face to face by facilitators

I've really benefited through formal and informal training

There are plenty of opportunities if you ask for them and pursue them

Pair programming, peer training, online courses and so on

There is not a lot of training provided in the early stage. There needs to be a better knowledge management team

As a graduate I rotate around which is a great way to learn, but I feel formal training is lacking

I have been sent on a couple of external training programs but I have found that when I’m trying to bring new practices back to the workplace people are usually un willing to try

Lots of training and support provided. Great culture for encouraging training

My graduate program consists of four, six month rotations across the IT areas of the business where I am given ample opportunity to extend my skillsets beyond those that I learned at University. I have worked on mainframes, network infrastructure and large scale dimensional databases  since starting

Bankwest is very focused on developing their employees. I appreciate this a lot
