You’ll recommend cutting-edge multimedia technologies and strategies to build a successful learning environment. You know communication is key, so you’ll meet with SMEs throughout the process to discuss learning material and integrate their feedback. To ensure your solution is hitting the mark, you’ll collect and analyze results using evaluation methodologies such as the Kirkpatrick Model then fine-tune your training for maximum impact. You’ll be able to hone your leadership skills as you share your expertise through leadership and mentoring. As a leader, you’ll identify new opportunities to build solutions and advise your customers on their learning needs. This is a chance to use your deep understanding of training methodologies to shape a creative learning experience that will engage students.
