what is the job of a corporate trainer? How do you become one?

Question

I want to work as a corporate trainer.

Answer 1

The training function is usually housed with the human resources or personnel department. Trainers work with different areas of the organization to assess the skills that are required to enable the org to succeed. Training can include basic skills like customer service, computer skills, and the like. A very important part of training is in legal requirements such as the Sarbanes-Oxley federal reporting requirements, food safety, occupational safety and health, and lots of other areas. This training saves the company money as when people do their jobs within the law, there are fewer fines and lawsuits.

If you are in school, an HR major would be best; many trainers have masters' degree in organizational development or HR, although you can start with a BA in an entry level position and work your way up.

Jobs within the training department include: curriculum designers, platform trainers (get up in front of groups), support people to develop presentations and track training software needs, quality control people to make sure the training is working as planned, and higher-level strategic executives to work with senior management on aligning training objectives with overall company goals.

It's a great field, but in recessions there are usually a lot of layoffs, particularly in the financial services industry. But, once in the field you are very employable.
