Training & Personal Development at EY New Zealand

There are always courses being offered and a lot offered on our training platform, however, theyre quite hard to find on your own. In your spare time, you are meant to do L&D that you would like to complete but how should we know what is offered?

We had original welcome training to the company with other service lines and then audit specific training. Was more a procedure they have to do because a lot of the learning is done in a practical sense on the job.

Little training, but helpful teammates during work procedures regardless.

I feel there has been little training, and in the wrong areas. The consulting training week is approaching, so my opinion may change, but feel it is too little and too late given we have been here for 6 months now.

The training was good. Most of it was done on the job though as opposed to in the trainings provided

Lots of in-depth WBLs and other various online learnings available at EY to progress your development

I think it wasn't sufficient to prepare us for work. And seniors are often too busy / sometimes also confused to properly train us for the task.

We have obviously on the job training with our seniors who are probably the best way to learn things about the job IMO, but we also have regular "back 2 basics" session and bite-sized learnings. Also rank level trainings which occur regularly also.

The training programs are too general, not really useful. You will know what is really going on when you start the engagement.

We did a training week at the start which is standard. Most impressed with our online learnings platform where if you don't have client work you can do e-learnings. They have also got a thing called 'badges' where certain learnings are grouped in about 15 hour slots and you can achieve a badge which can help you get onto more projects as you become experts in the fields.

I didn't receive any formal training at EY

EYCC program helped me to think logically

Definitely could do better in the training department. We often get rushed onto jobs and then training takes a backseat.

Lots of opportunities for training but not always enough spare time to actually complete training

Lots of good formal training programmes across a wide range of subjects and you can just do what you're interested in, and you must do at least one programme per year. Most of the reward (team) specific training is informal and on the job, though efforts have been made to formalise and standardise this more.

Internal and external training - EY pays for external courses and memberships.

We have training frequently enough and if you ever need help there are always people willing to help

Pretty good! We have access to online training modules we can access in our own time. We are also encouraged to do at least 20 hours of training each year.

Training occurs a few times a year for each year group. There are also additional "optional" trainings available in the mornings. The expectations for this can be miscommunicated as they are advertised as optional, but some managers aren't happy with some of the turnout. This is quite unfair seeing as we are not being paid for the time being put in to these optional trainings and they are held outside of work hours.
