Secondly, I have the opportunity to assemble and follow my own personal development plan which consists out of our premade trainee learning plan, but also some more personal soft skills I want to work on.
Thirdly I can plan my study. I already mentioned the premade trainee learning plan which consists out of different technical skills or certifications we have to aim on getting. There are no prefixed data on studying, we have the opportunity to decide this ourselves. In my first 2 weeks I planned a total of 5 study days so that I could be helpful on the first project where I was designated to. As I am noticing right now this is starting to pay off since I am more and more involved in projects with actual clients.
Fourthly, we have the ability as trainees to help move Toreon to the next level by putting some time into OKR tasks or internal projects. I personally had the chance in helping the threat model team in publishing the opensource threat model playbook. We, as trainees, are also looking on how to improve the traineeship by making some sort of internal training framework.
It is impossible for me to shortly summarize my first month at Toreon. The amount of knowledge and information I receive on a daily basis are, to me, of unseen proportions. I look forward in using this knowledge to better Toreon and myself in the process.
