  • Conduct training needs analyses and skills-gap assessments with department managers and subject matter experts (SMEs) to define critical technical competencies.
  
  
  • Manage Learning Management System (LMS) assets and maintain tracking systems to monitor completion, competency assessments, and organizational compliance.
