End Of An Induction

Here is a photo of some of the other new Policy Entrants on our last day of training yesterday. In the morning we covered the FCO's Language Policy, as well as taking a closer look at the Professional Skills in Government (PSG) framework. The PSG focuses on skills that all government employees should work on improving and developing.

In the afternoon, our line managers joined us on the training course to start looking at our Development Plans - highlighting areas that we want to improve on and ways that we can go about doing this. It was actually a great opportunity to get our line managers out of the (very busy) office environment and spend some time getting to know them a little more and really highlighting areas that you, as a new entrant, might not be confident in.

Formal Induction Training is now over, which is scary, and we are now being let loose in our departments properly. However, we do still have training updates throughout the year (to my huge relief!) and a good support network that we can turn to if we start feeling a little swamped in any areas.
