Ground-up initiatives and communities – support initiatives that encourage employee participation, professional communities and ground-up contributions. Research and insights – conduct research and gather employee or stakeholder insights to inform OD, culture and engagement initiatives. Data and analytics – explore building up a Employee Engagement Survey (EES) dashboard to enable a more complete view of year-on-year comparison of the data. [Academy Transformation Initiatives] Interns supporting Academy transformation initiatives may contribute in the following areas: Learning analytics and insights – support the development and maintenance of learning dashboards, and analyse learning data to identify course demand, participation trends, learning patterns and capability gaps. Data management and automation – support the cleaning, organisation and integration of learning datasets, and develop workflows or automation across relevant Academy systems to reduce manual processes and improve operational efficiency. Competency and learning data – support the aggregation, organisation and analysis of competency and learning data, including data arising from Competency-Driven Growth (CDG), to identify learning needs and inform capability development efforts. Learning pathways and curation – support the analysis of learning coverage and gaps, and curate relevant courses and resources into coherent learning pathways and themed playlists. Learning innovation – research emerging learning practices and technologies, and identify opportunities to improve Academy's learning products, processes and learner experience.
