Designed to support you with learning, networking, and mentoring opportunities, Stantec’s well recognised and accredited Professional Development Programme sets a standard for training and progression.
As a member of our supportive early careers community you will be trained and mentored through a graduate programme to help you achieve your goals and obtain your professional accreditation.
This is achieved by combining core and technical training, shaped around your professional field and discipline. We offer a wide range of accredited training programmes, to best support you in gaining relevant professional qualifications to support your career.
You will develop skills, learn, adapt to change, and lay the foundations for a successful and rewarding career. Working together with your mentor and manager, you will explore your strengths and aspirations to shape your career path.
Your Professional Development Programme includes graduate core training in your first three years. This provides an enhanced training period and a community to engage with throughout your initial Professional Development.
Once you’ve completed the three-year graduate core training period, you will continue to receive training and mentorship tailored to support your journey on becoming professionally chartered or qualified. The focus is now even more on you, as you complete your professional foundation and start to shape and plan your future career path.
“It’s great that as part of the graduate programme you can sign up for the Institution of Civil Engineers (ICE) and your annual membership is covered."
Gurveer Jutte, Graduate Civil Engineer
Our people are our most valuable asset. In order to walk the talk, more than 20 years ago we created the Developing Professionals Group (DPG) to give employees who are in the early stages of their career the chance to develop both technically and professionally; to meet their colleagues and really be part of our global organisation.
The DPG actively works to combine the energy and innovative minds of our developing professionals (DPs) with the wisdom and experience of our company leadership. Since its inception, the group has grown into a global network with members in all corners of the world. The DPG is a truly international network that, in addition to planning regional and local activities, really gives a voice to our DPs.
“The DPG is a great space to share ideas and learn from each other. This global community of colleagues at different stages of their careers offers a platform for people to grow their network and grow as individuals. I have been able to connect with people across the business and discover new skills. It’s inspired me to take the opportunity to lead the UK chapter to support other developing professionals with their career paths.”
