POSITION SUMMARY

Hired's Career Pathways team develops and delivers short-term career skills training programs designed to help people find employment quickly in a career that provides family sustaining wages. Training is done virtually and in-person.

While the Trainer will have curriculum development and delivery as central responsibilities, a key focus for this position will be case management and centering the needs of participants with emphasis on relationship building, barrier alleviation, and career navigation services to achieve employment goals. This role works closely with collaborative community based organization partners and employer partners to inform learning goals and training activities, and to bridge participants to new employment opportunities. Strong MS Office skills are essential with the ability to teach those skills to adults using virtual and in-person tools. Experience developing and adapting curriculum is also important, but we will train a great candidate.

The Trainer in this position will work with the Home Energy training project and may move around to other projects as assigned. This position requires flexibility with projects, cross training, and the ability to travel to various offices and training sites, often to locations not easily accessed by public transportation. Knowledge of or experience with the home energy industry such as energy efficiency, weatherization, HVAC, or related fields is preferred.
