A trainer carries out initial or ongoing training of employees in a business. The training may be done in a classroom environment, via distance learning, or directly "on the job" in a production facility. Trainers may work with a group of individuals or on a one on one basis with a specific employee.
Skill Sets: Trainers need to have good teaching, communication and interpersonal skills. An in-depth knowledge of the subject being taught, as well as having experience in the company's main line of business are also required. Trainers need to keep their knowledge up to date when company procedures change or new happenings occur in the industry their company operates in.
Education: Depending on their employer's line of business, a trainer may need a degree in business, communications, science, etc. Sometimes trainers are selected internally from a company's existing staff to train new hires. For example a customer service representative may teach a new group of workers arriving at a call center on how the job is done.
Career Path: Obtain a degree in a field that is related to the specific industry where you want to work as a trainer. Gaining a few years of hands on experience in a position related to the training is also recommended.
