Training & Personal Development at General Electric Australia

Programs are good but can sometimes be overkill.

We are exposed to so much training including technical and soft skills training both locally and training conducted internationally.

On my graduate program, I have a three-month program on �Foundations of Finance� with two weeks in Shanghai, one week overseas training in controllership then six separate courses on other finance specialties including commercial finance, supply chain etc. Also, leadership training in the US.

We have done basic pitch-out training that was piggy-backed on the other grad-program. I would like to see more pitch-out training dedicated to our program.

Plenty of development programs e.g. personal branding session, pitching skills session.

As part of our first six months in the grad program we travel to Shanghai for an intensive two-week training program. This focuses on both technical accounting/finance training, interaction with senior leaders and development of soft skills.

Professional development, networking, pitching, personal brand development.

It's been good and interesting. There has been a range of different skill workshops.
