DEVELOPMENT PROCESS

During the first one year MT’s spend time developing their skills and awareness in their chosen function. This is through learning about the operations and bearing real responsibility for part of the activity of their function.

Training ‘on the job' is structured to take into account individual interests and abilities, with regular coaching and continuous feedback.

Learning is a two way process and trainees are encouraged to take 'ownership' of their own development and identify new opportunities.
