A Technical Trainer designs, develops, implements, and evaluates technical training programs. They prepare lesson plans, course outlines, schedules, and assignments. They identify the main objectives and skills or concepts that participants need to learn. They explain key concepts and principles, and create assignments or hands-on activities to allow students to develop practical skills. Trainers also work in close collaboration with other internal teams and stakeholders to develop course content and goals. They establish metrics for determining course outcomes and participant performance. They will provide user stories and narratives for funded technology training projects.
Technical Trainers need experience in developing technical training programs for an organization. Preferred experience in technical training and instructional design. Field experience with Language Technology applications is a plus.
