Training & Personal Development at NEC Australia

I like to learn through doing. Theory/watching videos only gets me so far. I am able to get a wide range of jobs to do to help me learn.

There's on the job training and formal training through NEC academy. The on-the-job training is great I think as I'm learning a lot of skills whiles also doing the job, although it can be very challenging. Picked up a lot of technical skills such as VMware, Windows Management etc. from the on-the-job training. Formal training is available from the NEC academy to get certifications, I've picked up Cyber Security certifications.

My soft skill has been improved and company also provide free certifications for your career goals and the area you want to specialize in.

There wasn't any formal training but I had a mentor show me and navigate the technology stack. When I first started I got a given task with something I was familiar with and later expanded using other tools and programming languages. While I received a few tasks to work on, I studied and completed certificates that NEC funded which really helped me to learn new skills and knowledge to do my work in that field. The skills I picked up are scripting languages like PowerShell and Python. Learning to use AWS and Microsoft Azure cloud platforms and infrastructure-as-code like Terraform.

You shadow someone for a few months.

Training on the job is great
