TRAINING AND DEVELOPMENT

SIS is committed to developing the skills of all employees and we have plenty of opportunities for you to learn and take on new challenges.  Like everyone else who joins us, you'll begin your career with an induction programme which will give you a briefing on the Service as well as IT training.

After that, you can look forward to a combination of on-the-job training and structured training courses leading to formally-recognised technical qualifications.  Throughout your career our appraisal process will help map your personal development needs and training at regular intervals will help you meet your goals and maximise your potential.  Not only will we offer you training in your current area of expertise, ensuring you're right up to date, we'll also actively encourage you to branch out into new areas.

Real variety is a hallmark of a career with us. In an organisation of our size, where IT plays such a vital role, there are ample opportunities to develop your career in a number of directions.  The emphasis in training is designed to enhance your technical skills, but, as your career progresses, you may have the chance to spend time in other relevant areas of the Service or move into management.
