What you’ll bring
Adult learning expertise – strong understanding of adult learning principles, instructional design and their application in program design and delivery.
Energy and passion for building – you’re excited by the chance to create new programs and systems from scratch, bring ideas to life, and aren’t afraid to roll up your sleeves to get it done.
End-to-end program management – experience creating and rolling out learning programs from concept to evaluation.
LMS know-how – practical experience managing a Learning Management System.
Facilitation skills – confident facilitator who can engage diverse audiences and adapt to different learning styles.
