Training & development

You’ll be given the trust and responsibility for driving your own development. You’ll be able to draw on support from your line manager, graduate representatives in each business, the Learning & Talent Development team, and your thriving early careers community. There are also a number of institution-specific Chartership schemes which will guide you towards achieving professional status and include formal mentoring.

  • A comprehensive induction pathway to ensure you are fully prepared for life in AtkinsRéalis.
  • Workshops and formal training to help you develop skills such as project management, effective presentations, influencing and communication.
  • Ongoing encouragement and development support through internal placements as well as on-the-job experience working for a range of clients.
  • Profession-specific schemes to help you gain Chartership status for example as an engineer, scientist, environmentalist or surveyor, or equivalent professional accreditation.
