• Ensure that all Training logistics are managed well, working with the Training Logistics Assistant who will assist with training site arrangements/contracts, food providers, training sites set up, tech supplies and support, and managing orders through the Procurement Department, and coordinating with other Bridge departments as needed.
• Continue to revise and improve the Facilitator Training Manual and materials based on challenges, performance evaluations and other feedback
• Create a system for giving actionable feedback to any Teacher Training Manager or Facilitator who is struggling to meet the expectations of the Training Program
