The platforms you can teach through are expanding and I wanted to learn how to utilize the tools effectively. What are some of your day-to-day responsibilities in your roles? Instruct courses on personal development, train trainers, work on a team to develop company learning programs, coaching, talent manage. How have you found your jobs?
