The Academy - Achieve what you want to achieve


The Academy is part of NAB that is dedicated to providing learning and development opportunities in innovative ways to create highly skilled people and great leaders for our organisation.

It comprises of leading edge programs, courses, tools and innovative technologies so our people have new ways to learn, share knowledge, network and work. The Academy challenges our people to think differently, realise their ambitions and fulfil their potential.

The Academy’s core learning philosophy is the idea that learning occurs in many ways:

70% of learning comes from on-the-job experiences
20% comes from exposure via peers, coaches and mentors
10% happens formally through education (e.g. classroom, workshops, online)
Great products don't make themselves and excellent customer experience doesn't happen by chance. It's our people who make this happen. NAB invests in people through The Academy helping you achieve what you want to achieve.

Choose to join us and The Academy will present you with the opportunities and support to build your personal and professional abilities and to define and pursue the career path that you want.

Jon - Senior Consultant

Promoting learning, developing leadership and challenging thinking, my focus is on the next generation of leaders at NAB. From facilitating, coaching, mentoring to consulting, each week is different and every day I ask myself: how I can have maximum impact today?

There isn't one true way in this game. Optimistic and energetic is good. Clear thinking is important. You may be into detail, or not, however a tolerance for ambiguity is critical, as is the ability to communicate - clearly and often. Most important of all, though, is developing the strength of character to just be yourself as you learn who "yourself" is.

Having built a broad career at NAB and learnt about who I am and where I can make the most difference, my future is now focused on supporting the growth of the people who make the biggest difference for our customers. NAB offers a great breadth of experiences and career and development options. Our opportunity now is to build on NAB’s great reach, brand and potential and take it to the next level. I find that I’m even more excited about this task now than I’ve ever been.
