The types of corporate/contract training will vary from common (cross-sectoral) skills in business/management/customer service, to a variety of unique technical training topics in the manufacturing, healthcare, and other industry sectors. This position will play a significant role in leading, growing, and sustaining growth in contract training sales, development, and implementation, across a variety of industries in the VWCC service area. The Administrative Officer provides for the development and sales of in-demand training and business solutions. Additionally, this position will effectively develop-or assist in developing-open-enrollment courses as needed and work within a collegial and collaborative framework and mindset.

Administrative Officers are accountable for course revenue and business development goals, set annually in collaboration with the Vice President of CCT. An excellent opportunity for professionals with skills across the domains of adult education (consulting, instructional design, educational programming, facilitation, etc.), Administrative Officers for Training Solutions are at the forefront of providing in-demand training solutions.

The successful Administrative Officer for Training Solutions (Corporate Training) will be an adult educator with a quality AND production mindset-with the demonstrated ability to meet client and student expectations.
