Training Specialist
CurrentIn my role as the Training Specialist I have had the privilege to work with hundreds of people across the globe, both in person and in a virtual environment. As part of a three man team, I contributed to the development of our Training Department. Where all training was done on an ad hoc basis before, we brought standardization and continuity to the training process. I had an active role in selecting the current LMS, (Learning Management System), that we use to house all online training courses for our employees as well as for clients and business partners in their own unique portholes. I am also the touch point for all new hires to acclimate them to our LMS. I work closely with all departments to determine their training needs and provide feedback on how a particular subject should be trained, providing them with recommendations and solutions with the end goal being a fully developed online course. This would involve the building of the course, maintaining it in the LMS over time and updating it as required. I also work very closely with our Human Resources and Compliance teams to ensure quarterly compliance training is selected, delivered and taken within the allotted time.In conclusion, and what I take the most pride in, is our Munch and Learn series of trainings that I have hosted and presented at. Initiated by me in January of 2022 Munch and Learn covers a wide swath of topics and targets a general audience with offerings ranging from the company's core values to other soft skill topics such as communication skills and desktop organization to departmental initiatives and behind the scenes looks at the workings of a department. These sessions have been conducted every month consecutively since their inauguration.
