ICICI - the learning organization

ICICI's focus on learning is commendable. IT has an in-house website with 108 modules related to banking for employees to learn, test themselves and get certification. This website has been designed very well and is very reader friendly. Added to that completing few modules is made compulsory for appraisal purpose.

I am also among the privileged group of management trainees who are provided month long training (with full salary) on joining. 10 days at Chandivali learning center were we got the chance to interact with the top management and now 3 weeks at IFRM (Institute of Financial Management & Research) at Chennai.

An organization, which gives so much importance to learning, is destined to succeed. Opportunity to interact with top management help new joinees develops holistic view of the organization that is otherwise very difficult in a big organization like ICICI. It would make sure that there is no shortage of young and talented people in the organization.
Well i am dying to get into action but at the same time glad that i got the opportunity to learn the way it is being done at ICICI
