• Coordinate with eLearning administrators, webinar producers, technical specialists and other cross-functional teams to support training delivery, learner tracking, reporting, and program execution.
• Support the publishing, deployment, and maintenance of training products through the client's learning platform and webinar technologies.
• Contribute multiple concurrent training initiatives while maintaining quality, consistency, and program timelines.

• Develop and implement evaluation measures to assess learner engagement, training effectiveness, workforce and user readiness, and program outcomes.
• Monitor learner feedback, analytics, and performance data to identify opportunities for continuous improvement and content enhancement.
