Please describe the training programmes at your company and tell us what skills you've picked up.
Formal training is very well structured. 1-2 days of induction initially, and then sporadic training sessions throughout the clerkship so it didn't feel as though we were overloaded with info at the start. My team (finance) runs structured training sessions on discrete areas of banking and finance law for juniors throughout the year which have been great. The informal training is arguably better. There are plenty of opportunities to sit with senior lawyers and partners to get feedback on work or discuss questions you have. This is where most of the learning occurs.

Team training sessions vary - usually extensive.

My team ran very comprehensive training program that was scattered throughout our first few weeks that was run by the senior and junior members of the team which was so incredibly helpful, and helped me wrap my head around all aspects of the diverse practice. They also had a great handbook that was written up with processes and useful information. My previous team had one as well, and I deeply appreciated having the wisdom of past employees while I was learning and finding my feet. Grad training was run over a week and was very comprehensive, although we were all very disappointed that we didn't get a change to go to Sydney or Melbourne like other top tier firms for some grad bonding.

There was general induction training, but in my view the most valuable training and development has been group-specific training. As well as seminars run by senior members on key topics, it has also been highly valuable to have regular one on one chats with supervisors to learn from their practical experience.

Formal and informal training is great - feel supported and have space to learn
Graduate, Melbourne
Very comprehensive but potentially a little too comprehensive. The majority of the training was crammed into the first week which made it difficult to process and maintain everything.

Onboarding training was excessive and not useful, I went into starting work not knowing how to open or close documents in imanage but have excessive training on the Intranet. When I receive training/ feedback from supervisors at work it is better.

I think doing a range of work for different people is the best training. But the formal training was pretty good too. Having a person you feel comfortable asking silly and simple questions is also really good.
Graduate, Perth
Training was useful and continues to be provided throughout my graduate rotations.

I have developed my skills in legal research, memo writing, observing how clients are managed, using different programs, and time management.
