Training & Personal Development at Contact Energy

- Week long wireline course

We have a 'Contact University' platform where we can enrol in a wide range of online learning modules/courses and monthly guest speakers who educate us on different areas of the business. In my day-to-day role, my mentor is super supportive and happy to answer any questions along with recommendations for extra learning e.g. books, online courses etc.

Skills learned - troubleshooting, critical thinking, teamwork, analytical thinking

Company happy to allow any sort of training you put your hand up for. They pay for all expenses and want to develop your skill set. Trick is finding the learning that is right for you and setting time for it. Informal training is good, just happens on the job.

Contact Energy encourages a lot of self-learning. I've been given free access to paid resources such as Udemy and Contact Energy also has their own learning resource called "Contact University" which has a lot of courses on a variety of different areas in the company. You're also encouraged to block out a work hour of your week in your calendar and use that to focus on self-learning. There are also a lot of optional meetings you can join where another employee will offer to teach something. Skills I've picked up: - Databricks - AWS - NEOPOINT - Power BI

Great info at the grad assessment center. No formalised training after that. Have been allowed the time and flexibility to understand and research newer concepts build my skills in any area I'm interested in pursuing further. Have built skills in communication, facilitation, presentation and gained technical skills and knowledge in my area.

I learned the data engineering foundation, how data comes to our platform, how our data platform works, how we transform data, python and sql skills from attending team training, working on the project and udemy courses.
