Created a training center where internal employees can do government-mandated annual training. The training was build using multiple Microsoft online platforms which included Microsoft Stream, Microsoft SharePoint, Microsoft Power Automate (previously flows), and Microsoft Forms at zero additional cost to the company. Which allowed tracking, tracing, and reporting for our employees required training from wasting 3 hours a day managing to practically a few minutes while also giving automatic email updates to operation management and compliance. This helped when we had TSA audits for easier data gathering. The training was a requirement by the Transportation Security Agency (TSA) for air travel Security Threat Assessment (STA). And was able to convince IT corporate executives to allow a separate site collection for external sharing or in my words external data gathering for streamlining our vendor/carrier on-boarding process as well.
