Overview of Role
Please give an overview of your role and what this involves on a day-to-day basis:
5/5
Coordinating and supporting learning and development activities across the organisation. This includes booking and scheduling training courses, ensuring employees are enrolled in the appropriate programmes, and managing the learning portal to keep course information accurate and accessible.
I also provide ongoing support to employees throughout their learning journey, helping them access resources, track their progress, and resolve any issues related to their training. Alongside this, I carry out a range of general administrative tasks to ensure the smooth delivery of learning and development initiatives, maintaining records, updating systems, and supporting colleagues with training-related queries.
