The RoleInstructional Design & Delivery
Design and prototype learning modules and pathways for advanced manufacturing technician and engineering roles using adult learning and instructional design principles (e.g., experiential learning, microlearning, spaced repetition, and blended learning).
Learning Experience Innovation
Explore how AI tutors, immersive simulations, and AR/VR environments can accelerate skill mastery and engagement across the workforce.
Curriculum Architecture
Partner with technical and operational leaders to translate job knowledge, skills and abilities and core values and behaviors into structured learning journeys and skill progression frameworks.
Learning Evaluation
Develop and apply learning success metrics tied to real-world performance outcomes. Analyze data on engagement, skill transfer, and behavior change.
Performance Enablement
Embed learning into our real-time feedback and capability-building systems—replacing static training with dynamic, in-flow development.
