Training & Development
At Dstl, we can promise world class facilities plus a thoughtfully planned development programme to ensure you make the most of your potential. But equally, the onus is on you to manage your own career progression. It's very much a two-way commitment.
Training programmes of the highest quality are tailored to expand your technical, personal and business skills. Every conceivable self-development tool is here, so it's up to you to take advantage.
- We actively encourage the achievement of Chartered Status, see our Accreditation page.
- Sponsorship for further qualifications in technical, scientific or business fields, plus full support to gain professional chartered status.
- Regular reviews to fine-tune your objectives.
- Encouragement to produce papers for publication and attend conferences.
- Secondments to the MOD, Industry and Academia.
- A mentor to advise on your development.
- Partnerships with universities and colleges which support modular PhD's.
We want you to feel comfortable from day one, so we've introduced a 'buddy' scheme, meaning someone will always be on hand with advice and guidance to help you through the early weeks. We also want your long-term career options to be flexible. You could take a project management route, or you could pursue a technical career.
Wherever your future lies, we provide the choices but it's up to you to make them.
