What the work is

Corporate trainers run workshops and online sessions to build employees' skills: onboarding, communication, sales, customer service, technical tools, compliance and leadership. Some work inside companies' learning teams; many work as freelance trainers.

Subject experts and teachers often become trainers. Strong presentation skills and real-world experience matter most.
