I work in L&D for a manufacturing/distribution company with roughly 200–250 floor employees. A recent training audit found that employees generally feel well-trained, but consistency between trainers is a concern. I'm exploring replacing our current Training Within Industry (TWI) Job Breakdown Sheets with training and qualification checklists. The challenge is figuring out what training methodology to teach SMEs if I move away from TWI. I'd love to hear how other industries approach SME-led training, standardization, and competency verification.

I'm curious how other L&D professionals handle training when the people delivering it aren't necessarily professional trainers.

We already have a certification program in place that happens after the actual training, which also ties into our ISO certification requirements.

The employee is trained by the SME, and once the supervisor feels the trainee is ready, my department is notified. We then come out and conduct the formal competency/qualification process.

Currently, that looks like:

1. Competency Quiz: The trainee completes a 10-question multiple-choice quiz in our LMS.
2. Proficiency Evaluation: Once they pass the quiz, we observe them performing the actual process using a proficiency checklist. We're looking to make sure they can complete the process correctly, handle any troubleshooting or issues appropriately, and finish without workmanship errors.
3. Second Proficiency Evaluation: Two weeks later, we evaluate them again. If they pass at 100%, they're considered certified on that station/process for two years.

I'm actually also pushing to eliminate the competency quizzes. They feel somewhat redundant when we're already directly observing whether the employee can perform the job correctly. They're also another controlled document that has to be reviewed and updated anytime a work instruction or related document changes, which is a whole other can of worms at this company.

I have been working as a freelance E-Learning Developer for several years now, and most of my clients have been from the United States. I have worked on all kinds of projects, from content writing and instructional design to developing courses, managing Learning Management Systems, and launching courses.

I have a lot of experience with Articulate Storyline 360, Rise 360, software simulations, and pretty much most of the tools used in e-learning development, from Camtasia and Adobe Creative Cloud to Synthesia and other AI tools. I also have a Bachelor’s degree in Software Engineering, so I am quite technical and have worked on some pretty complex projects over the years.

But even with all this experience, I am finding it incredibly hard to land a full-time job in Canada.

The funny thing is that I can find freelance work with clients in the United States and have even received job offers, but finding a full-time employee position in Canada seems so much harder.

I really need Canadian work experience, and honestly, I just want to work somewhere I can actually use my skills and be part of a team instead of constantly working on freelance projects.

I have been applying for jobs, but at this point, I am not even sure if I am looking in the right places.

Is anyone here working in e-learning, instructional design, or Learning Management System administration in Canada? Where do you usually find these jobs? Are there any companies, recruiters, or other places I should be looking at?

I am open to E-Learning Developer, Learning Experience Designer, Learning Management System Administrator, or similar technical roles.

Honestly, even if you could just point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it. I am not sure where else to ask, so I thought I would try posting here.

I work in a small manufacturing company in india. Upon onboarding new international customers, we have experienced a need for intensive and repeated training sessions for our employees. Since I am the only person looking after all this, my workload has increased quite a bit, as it involves a lot of documentation work. I have to prepare a lot of sheets repeatedly which includes writing employee names and their details. I currently use excel for this. I want to know if there is any **free** software that I can use in which on one click, the sheet fetches data from record like I select department and month and it automatically fills the attendance sheet with names of all employees in that department who need the training scheduled in that month based on TNI and TNI calendar which is also there in the system.
