Training & Personal Development at Quantium

All graduates have to do a training program called a Graduate Proficiency Checklist that basically lists all the skills (+ more) required for the role

Depends on the department, its more structured around the way teams are run than formal training

Google Cloud Associate Cloud Engineer (expensed by company) Graduate Boot Camp (not as useful but a good primer for Engineering at the company) Various courses expensed based on learning requirements for the team.

Lots of on the job learning picking up on coding skills and analytics. This is supported by fairly extensive training materials covering wide ranges of topics. Initial onboarding also includes face to face training sessions getting you up to speed on the basics

Learning on the job continues to be the best method for education. There is plenty of tools and technology to learn in my position as well as access to online courses if that's your preferred method.

They have a Graduate Proficiency Checklist which is a list of competencies they think you should complete, however this is at the discretion of your manager, who in many cases is not an expert in these topics and as such it can be a bit random your knowledge gained from this.

The training at Quantium is encapsulated by the Graduate Proficiency Checklist, which makes sure that all graduates have to be exposed to a variety of work situations and analysis in their graduate year. Most learning is done on the job via exposure to projects and tasks. Otherwise, some formal learning and development is done to supplement skills that aren't used daily (e.g. Spark, when pandas is used in the day-to-day).

There isn't a formal training program or courses offered by the company, but there are plenty of oppurtunities to learn on the job and to transfer into other teams to learn different and new skills.

Induction was filled with formal training and courses that was somewhat helpful but the on the job training has been much more useful. I've picked up new coding languages and presenting skills and much more, all outlined the graduate proficiency checklist

Team-specific training was pretty smooth. Graduate-level training can be pretty boring - there are workshops hosted that cover things like personal branding and belonging, and to most graduates these are things that they kind of already know or don't need a workshop on.

Onboarding was extremely straight forward and colleagues were always willing to lend a helping hand

The skills you pick up all depend on your project so I've picked up some data engineering skills but that's pretty much it. It's not as much as I would like to pick up.

- Formal coding training is less engaging.

Very self-directed with what you learn - almost all learning takes place on the job, and there are different ways to solve most problems.

Quantium graduate program ensures that grad engineers learned a breadth of knowledge comprising frontend, backend, devops and data skills. I learned all this mostly through the work and guidance of my manager.

There is a proper Grad Program, albeit its rigid overall it being there is good.
