As a group, software engineers generally love to feel like they’re developing (pun intended). Subscriptions to online content libraries, or personal budget to spend on L&D are great, but often under-utilised, and usually don’t result in employees really feeling that they’ve mastered new skills. Live team coaching is effective, and targeted specifically at gaps in learners’ knowledge: every hour is useful. Learners who can see themselves growing are less likely to leave.
