Personal Development
Graduates and interns receive initial training on key aspects of the GB energy landscape and the transition to net zero, as well as an introduction to our in-house modelling software. There are regular weekly presentations on a wide variety of topics from colleagues within LCP Delta on projects they have delivered, helping to give a broader picture of the global energy transition.
In the first two weeks, graduates and interns are given an intensive training programme in C#, from the basics of coding syntax to the principles of object-orientated programming. Following this, for graduates there are regular workshops throughout the first few months to build skills in C# and introduce new concepts. There is also a weekly session for all C# developers across LCP Delta to share knowledge and discuss best practices.
Additionally, our learning management system, LCPLearn, provides access to hundreds of training resources, including workshops and e-learning – allowing an individual to self-serve and drive their own learning.
Professional qualifications
While there are no formal qualifications expected, graduates do have the opportunity to undertake external courses of their choosing that are relevant to their typical work.
We will support you through any relevant courses, including:
- Financial support to cover at least two attempts at each exam
- A generous study allowance
- A study mentor to advise you on your route through the exams and discuss any queries that you may have
