Mentoring
Mentoring is a fundamental part of who we are. Informal mentoring occurs throughout our teams every single day, while our structured mentoring program provides individual guidance through an allocated mentor and in some cases, a sub-mentor.
We have two professional development meetings each year in which we celebrate our wins, discuss our challenges, and look at our long-term and short-term goals. This allows us to work together to map development and reach our goals.
Learning and Development
Our structured learning and development program includes:
- Structured graduate program for all professionals
- Registration program including assistance on all AACA pathways to registration
- Internal and external training programs relating to both technical and soft skills (people, presentations, relationship building)
- Allocated time for ongoing training and professional development activities
- Clear career progression and competency frameworks
