Training & Personal Development at GSK

Modules were standard.

There could have been more formal training at the beginning of my IBL year however throughout the year I have had more than enough formal training and informal training to develop my skills relevant to my role and broaden my skills outside my role too.

Modules on all CL and risk management etc, meetings with other interns to learn skills for MOC related activities.

Training was extensive and you can always ask for more

More formal training would have been great.

No external training. Training is done by other employees.

Training on the job was fantastic, formal training was harder to organise

Attended EHS training and there is a lot of training available and also My Learning's for each month to keep us updated and continuously learning.

There are many training programs offered at GSK such as resilience training (different kinds of energy and how it is applicable in the workplace), Intermediate Excel Training (quick tricks for formulas), Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (learning about your personality traits and about how to get along with different personalities), MyLearnings (E.g. How to act in the workplace, WriteRight - how to compose a proper email).

Excessive at times, included online and in person training Communication skills, excel and database skills , familiarity with processes

There were quite a few opportunities such as Nielsen training, eLearning modules and various workshops for internal processes. I never felt as though I wasn't learning.

GSK has had some excellent programs in the past such as MBTI (for teams), Personal Resilience, Management Essentials amongst others.

Resilience training - good reminder to focus on all aspects of life to improve productivity and the ability to cope with pressure. Myer Briggs Personality training - interesting concept to be aware of. Excel Training - useful in day-to-day work

Intermediate Excel Training, SAP training, resilience training. I have developed greater problem solving and communication skills.

Lots of online learning modules as well as a genuine want to up-skill employees

Medicines Australia code training, excel training, resilience programs.

Most of the training is done by electronic learning courses as well as teaching's form the manager and past interns. This allows you to practically learn what you need very quickly.

Online training courses for each department. Training courses such as online induction, resilience and MBTI personality testing

Resilience and MBTI

Training during the first two weeks was intense! There was a variety of reading documents, face to face training and shadowing. My computer skills improved greatly as well as interpersonal skills.
