I encourage a mindset of lifelong learning. Seek out opportunities for professional development, whether through formal education, online courses, or on-the-job training. This will help you acquire new skills and stay updated on industry trends. Don’t hesitate to propose improvements to existing systems. Innovation often comes from questioning the status quo and seeking better solutions. Your insights can lead to more efficient processes and enhanced outcomes. Work closely with your colleagues and stakeholders to understand their needs and challenges. Effective communication can foster collaboration and lead to the development of systems that truly meet the demands of the organization.

Tell your manager and colleagues what you want to learn more about or which skills you wish to improve. They may be able to assign you tasks that align with your interests and supporting your personal development plan. Knowing your preferences, strengths and weaknesses makes it easier for you to ask for help when needed. Sharing your questions, and supporting on answers, creates an openness that enables dialogue and exchange of experiences, giving everyone an opportunity to grow.

Alstom's internal learning videos and courses are a good way to get an overview of a new topic, process or even a new language. In addition, a lot of new things are learned from experiences of other colleagues and during your own work - learning by doing! Try to pick up what is going on besides your own scope, exchange ideas during during a meeting or lunch time and ask questions. So, see you in the cantine?
