Towards this end, the KBS supports their professional development through development and delivery of high quality, interactive web-based and instructor-led training. We are currently looking for an eager Learning Designer to join our team with a strong opportunity for further career development in the future to support the development of web-based learning.
What you will do
- Map technical course material (facilitator guides, slide decks, and exercise materials) and apply instructional design principles to produce cohesive and effective courses (web-based and instructor-led training) with measurable outcomes on technical audit and accounting topics, using rapid development tools.
- Manage the development of courses, ensuring timelines are met and resources are appropriately utilized.
- Develop and maintain training-related forms, job aids, and materials.
- Engage with clients and Subject Matter Experts and other stakeholders to ensure content and delivery align with business goals and learner needs.
- Test effectiveness of courses on the learning management system and document findings.
- Maintain project documentation and course folders.
- Serve as a technical resource for programs that are internally developed and presented.
- At times, business needs arise, and employees are required and agree to work beyond their normal workday or work week to fulfill the accountabilities required for their job. Likewise, people need extra time to devote to personal matters, and our approach to flexibility provides for this.
