TRAINING

Rakuten offers monthly training sessions in over 25 times,
covering a wide range of technical and business skills for our engineers.

The following are some examples of recent training sessions.

Train the Trainer

This program is designed for engineers who are already experts in a particular subject matter and want to improve their own training skills to be able to share their knowledge and expertise with others across the company.

Managing Bias

All human beings have unconscious biases that can both help us, as mental shortcuts, but also very often harm us by preventing us from seeing and interacting with the world as it really is. This training session is aimed at helping trainees to understand their own unconscious biases and learn how to reduce their impact.

Agile Software Development
Introduction

This is a hands-on, introductory session on Agile Software Development. By taking part in a game with other participants, trainees learn how they can benefit from Agile Software Development and which specific frameworks might be suitable for them.
