"When people talk about training, it often conjures up an image of an on-site classroom. And, of course, that's where much of it takes place. But not all. For instance, I went to California to learn about a new product, spending three weeks with the project team. And I've since been on other training courses abroad when that's been judged the best way to get the full picture. Definitely one of the benefits of working for a company as large and diverse as Agilent."

"I've had access to a lot of courses to help build up my management skills. Team Building. Management Styles. Social Styles. And, probably the most interesting of all, a fascinating one on Building Customer Focused Organisations. The aim there was to encourage a lateral thinking approach to managing customer relationships. It's all about seeing beyond what they're telling you, about anticipating possible problems and - of course - coming up with solutions. At the moment, I'm talking to my manager about doing some Advanced Management training. Like new graduates, I'll have a mentor - the difference being that mine will be from an external organisation. I think it will be good for me - now all I have to do is make the case for it."
