Training – Interns and Graduates
We invest a lot of time in the training and development of our new graduates to help them progress well in their careers. We offer the same structured training and support to our interns.
We’ll provide you with all the training you’ll need for your day-to-day work. You’ll also receive plenty of on-the-job training as you undertake various tasks, which are structured to offer you the widest possible experience in all aspects of what we do.
You will be assigned a “buddy” to support you. They will typically be someone who has recently completed the graduate program. This provides you with an opportunity to ask questions and hear about their experiences with TBB – settling in, the industry, the work stuff, and the fun stuff.
