What this role really means

A Technical Learning and Development YES opportunity is not the same as a general office job. It is more focused on how people learn in the workplace, how training content is designed, how learning material is supported and how employees can be helped to build skills.

On your CV, place your education, instructional design, facilitation, eLearning, multimedia, curriculum development or learning-related qualifications near the top. Also include any academic projects, presentations, training support, tutoring, design work, digital content or learning platform exposure that may support your application.
