Teaching is a very important skill that doesn't need to be shared only with children (who may not appreciate what they're learning anyway). After all, adults need to learn too, especially when they're starting a new job or dealing with changes in the workplace. A training representative works for a company and trains employees in new procedures, technologies, or skills.

What the training representative teaches depends on the company that they work for and on the department that they are attached to at the moment. They can work with the sales team to teach new techniques to make customers commit to the purchase, or train the finance department in a new accounting software. Whatever they teach, the training representative needs to be an expert at curriculum design, effective teaching tools including eLearning, and more.

The world of work is rapidly changing, which means employees need to constantly upgrade their skills to stay competitive. Knowing that, it's no wonder that the demand for training representatives is expected to go up by 9 percent. They can find work in tech companies, hospitality, and more, wherever employees need training.
