Corporate Trainer

At JPL, I composed about fifty tutorials in Qarbon, which is very similar to Captivate, PowerPoint and Articulate. Qarbon allows user interaction so that the user must provide the correct answer or mouse click. All my presentations had voice overs with explanations that went beyond the little text bubbles and captions. All end users received links to copies of the presentation which I posted on the business systems intranet on a custom website that had been designed for training and reference purposes.

I also collected and composed large illustrated glossaries, correlated reference materials comparing the old with the new systems explaining the how and why of going from the legacy systems and processes to the paperless ones.

My title at JPL was Intranet Developer. They needed a corporate trainter because manufacturing was not taught there. So I filled in for their business unit trainers and presented my work and led trainign sessions for shop guys, administrators and assistants, managers, and technicians. I also documented the new time keeping system and the PO system for one of the purchasers which I also presented.

When it came time to fulfill ISO work instructions, managers found that my work fulfilled those requirements. I told them I knew that and that is how I did the work as I was familiar with ISO work instruction requirements.

Other parts of my website describe other corporate training I have done. I taught many years while working on MA and PhD teaching fellowships, which is the basis of my corporate trainer and presenter experience. Teaching youths, those 19 and 20 somethings, you are dead in the water if you cannot be engaging and relevant. I learned that with university and part time faculty teaching work I did when I was just out of school.
