• Advise stakeholders on best practices for creating a world-class technical training program
Required Experience
• Strong experience developing technical or operational training programs
• Proven ability to design training that supports both initial certification and real-world job performance
• Experience modernizing legacy training into engaging, contemporary learning solutions
• Ability to work independently, scope solutions, and recommend appropriate modalities
Highly Preferred
• Familiarity with OSHA-related safety requirements
• Background supporting manufacturing, warehouse, plant, or distribution environments
• Experience designing onboarding programs with 30-60-90 day milestones
• Track record of creating innovative, “state-of-the-art” learning solutions
Tools & Logistics
• Consultant will provide their own laptop and software licenses
• Final authoring tools will be determined based on the consultant’s recommended solution
• Existing materials are primarily in PowerPoint; SMEs and documentation will be available
The ideal consultant is:
• An out-of-the-box thinker who can design standout, modern learning experiences
• Comfortable operating at both strategic and hands-on development levels
• Able to move quickly, work independently, and guide stakeholders through design decisions
• Skilled at translating technical operations into clear, effective training
