Adopting GitHub Copilot at Scale at a Tier 1 Bank
We helped a global Tier 1 bank adopt GitHub Copilot at scale to give their software engineering teams a competitive advantage.
Success Stories
Accelerating Software Engineering Alignment at a Global Tier 1 Bank
Our client, a global financial institution, needed a customised, self-paced digital learning programme to help new engineers quickly adapt to their software development and deployment standards. We designed interactive learning pathways and hands-on labs that run directly on the organisation’s infrastructure.

The challenge
With over 40,000 technologists worldwide, ensuring consistency in software development and deployment is critical for efficiency, security, and maintainability. While graduate engineers can be trained in the organisation’s standards from day one, experienced hires often bring diverse methodologies and toolsets, making alignment with trunk-based development and CI/CD practices more challenging.
The organisation needed a scalable, engaging, and effective learning solution to:
• Ensure all engineers, regardless of prior experience, adopt its trunk-based development model and CI/CD best practices.
• Enable a flexible yet structured learning experience, accommodating engineers with different levels of familiarity with the organisation’s processes.
• Move beyond static documentation to practical, hands-on learning, ensuring engineers could immediately apply their knowledge.
• Enable seamless onboarding for new hires and cross-functional teams, reducing friction in software delivery.
Our solution
We developed a series of customised digital learning pathways, designed to guide engineers through the organisation’s software engineering standards in an interactive and self-paced format.
The solution included:
1. Digital Learning Pathways
• Role-specific content: curated learning experiences tailored to engineers based on their function (e.g. backend developers, DevOps engineers, SREs).
• Interactive modules: combining internal knowledge, best practices, and real-world use cases.
• Progress tracking & milestones: ensuring engineers progress through the standards in a structured manner.
2. Hands-On Step-by-Step Labs
• Practical labs: engineers work within the organisation’s actual technical infrastructure, reinforcing real-world application.
• Trunk-based development training: hands-on exercises in the version control and CI/CD workflows.
• Live debugging & troubleshooting challenges: simulating real-world development scenarios to enhance problem-solving skills.
By embedding the company’s tooling, processes, and governance requirements into the training experience, engineers gained first-hand experience of its software delivery model, ensuring faster and more effective adoption.
Delivery
The programme was designed for maximum flexibility and scalability, enabling engineers to learn at their own pace while applying their knowledge effectively in production-like environments.
The training incorporated:
• On-demand learning modules: engineers complete training at their own pace.
• Step-by-step guided labs: hands-on experience within the organisation’s infrastructure.
• Live feedback & assessments: interactive coding exercises to evaluate understanding.
• Integration with internal developer tooling: ensuring seamless adoption of CI/CD pipelines and development workflows.
Results
The Neueda-designed digital learning pathways and hands-on labs on this programme have driven significant improvements in engineering consistency and efficiency:
Faster adoption
Engineers align with trunk-based development and CI/CD practices faster and more efficiently.
Reduced onboarding time
New experienced hires integrate into the organisation’s engineering culture faster.
Improved quality & collaboration
Standardised development practices enhance maintainability and reduce friction across teams.
Continuous upskilling
