  • Plan and manage outreach and training activities to align with program goals and timelines
  • Monitor progress toward program targets and adjust approach as needed to stay on track
  • Maintain accurate records of employer engagement, trainings, and program activities
  • Provide timely and accurate program input to support performance tracking and required reporting
Program Coordination & Support
  • Partner with the Program Coordinator to support grant compliance and reporting processes
  • Develop and maintain program materials, communications, and internal resources
  • Serve as a liaison with employers, partners, and internal teams to support effective program delivery
  • Support coordination with vendors or external partners as needed

  • Must reside in Ohio or within close proximity for the duration of employment
  • Demonstrated experience delivering presentations or facilitating adult learning (in-person and/or virtual), with the ability to engage participants and drive practical application
  • Experience engaging external stakeholders, such as employers, community partners, or clients
  • Ability to independently plan and prioritize work in a remote environment with limited day-to-day direction
  • Strong organizational skills with attention to detail and follow-through
  • Comfort working in a role that requires persistence and consistent outreach to build participation
  • Comfortable tracking outreach and training activity to monitor progress toward program goals
  • Proficiency with remote collaboration tools such as Microsoft Teams and Zoom
