Training & Personal Development at Alcoa Australia

Well structured internal and external training for development specific to role

The Traccess trainings can be confusing, and my supervisors are uninterested in helping me to complete everything on my list. I have also completed a Working At Heights course but the provider gave no actual training so I left feeling unequipped to do my job safely.

Graduate days to learn about other parts in the business to normal role. Australian Institute of Management courses throughout the graduate program.

Many training opportunities: - Confined space - Working at heights - AIM courses - RCA

My training as been very on the go, particularly as I was previously a vac student and some gaps have not been filled. I am often learning how to do things as they come up and this requires me to ask for help however there are plenty of resources available to help me.

Not much formal training and some internal training available. However, these are also often not very task specific.

Attending AIM for business/ management courses is a really good opportunity. Informally, my colleagues are always open to showing me around and teaching me new things - I appreciate the amount of informal training that I receive from others helping upskill me. So far I've picked up some presentation and communication skills at a formal AIM course, but also skills with Alcoas computer systems (excel, uniformance, AWAprops).

All grads do a selection of basic courses in time management, communication, excel skills etc. Then there are also plenty of opportunities for role-specific training as well.

Many opportunities to enroll in training and learning opportunities. Job specific electrical training that provide good foundational knowledge as well as general learning on graduate days about other aspects of the business, and frequent career development days organised for us.
