This includes, but is not limited to, performance management, engagement with key stakeholders, the delivery of training programs and subsequent evaluation and continuous improvement of training products.

  The Trainer position supports a range of learning solutions in the ABF including coordination of staff delivering administrative and logistical support to ensure the efficient and effective delivery of training. The role will include course management and resolving participant queries and issues including performance management.
