The graduate program only focusses on soft skills and is mostly delivered online in an unengaging format. There is no internal technical training. I have asked multiple times to do external training and have been unsuccessful each time. I have asked to do our internal project management training, as I am doing project management and have not been able to. I have been told that I am inpatient for wanting to do training.
Graduate program is all online teams meetings or modules, no formal training as of yet, apart from training specifically related to my business group
The grad program has been very informal, there doesn't seem to be any formal technical training which has left me feeling rather thrown in the deep end. Colleagues have been helpful and supportive, but not always very good at understanding my knowledge gaps and how to bridge them - sometimes it takes quite a bit of time to figure out what the gap is between where they're talking and what I know. Most of the formal grad program presentations have not really been useful to me; the project management ones have some useful information but the rest mostly rehash general business/life information/skills that I think most of us are pretty familiar with. I've tried attending lunch and learn or other information sessions whenever I can, but again I often struggle to understand anything because there's too significant a gap between my post-university knowledge and whatever specialised things they're talking about. I would really like some formal training or at least guidance on what technical skills we should be trying to pick up as grads in our respective areas. I have learnt some basics on protection and circuit breaker curves, how to model loads in Power CAD software, basic cable sizing and about short-circuit forces in substations. I feel like there are still huge gaps in my knowledge that make it difficult to use practically though.
