Training & Personal Development at Rio Tinto

Company is providing job training such as software operating training and also day to day job-related training by senior professionals. Graduate program is one of the development programs helping young professionals to become fully fledge one. Also, there is a lunch and learn program to attend useful presentation. With those training it helped me in developing skills to operate software to do designing and also communication skills.

Well delivered training.

There is a big library of on-demand training that you can complete. In-person courses are easy to book and are offered in various locations. Third-party training is also possible and supported by leaders.

The graduate program provides extensive training opportunities for the whole graduate cohort, and if you find additional training related to your role you apply to have the business cover the cost of that training too!

The graduate program spans two years, during which you'll receive the training needed to perform your future role effectively. The learning experience is tailored to each graduate, allowing you to progress at a pace that suits your comfort level.

Training team are good, courses run fairly often as required. If you need/want training, you can get training

Training is good when you can get it

Individual coaching, language learning, external role specific trainings

Training is a very flexible part of the job. There are excellent training resources available that teaches things like computer & technical skills. There is also external training courses such as 4WD training for mine operators and the like.

plenty of opportunity for graduates and secondment opportunities are available.

I've had training on different software's Practical experience training on the job

Great nothing to complain here. Willing to allow us to spend time learning online and going out and seeing things working. Discuss with other areas within the business, drive out development and a few training courses, especially as a graduate are pushed in order to assist your development.

Using new software suite.

Plenty of training opportunities (formal and informal) if the leader is willing to accommodate. I have done PLC, high voltage switching operator and root cause analysis formal trainings.

There are many internal training opportunities. They can be hard to justify why you would like to do them, but they are happy for you to go on them if there is justification. Picked up skills in: contractor management, first aid, envirosys, GIS.

My up-line report manager has actually wanted me to spend this first year just gaining experience before commencing anymore formal training qualifications. Instead I have received a lot of informal training from my peers and colleagues explaining a lot of the processes to me.

Great informal training on communication and leadership development opportunities available.

Structured formal training in the role very poor. very much driven by your own self

At times, very challenging to get training approved that costs money

- Good lean 6 sigma training, 2 weeks at two different sites
