Job Description
Learning & Development Specialist
HealthCorps
• Drive Mentor Training & Development • Design and deliver onboarding that prepares mentors for the range of settings they’ll work in how to run a great session, engage students across various ages, and handle the unexpected across both larger classroom environments and smaller club settings. • Build ongoing professional development that supports mentors' ability to deliver the program with growing ease and mastery including office hours, live monthly sessions, and coaching check-ins. • Develop practical, mentor-ready resources (videos, how-to guides, templates, quick-reference sheets) built for how mentors work. • Partner with Curriculum and Program Teams • Review new lesson plans and activities before rollout: Is this clear? Will mentors have the right supplies? Does it fit a 60-minute period? • Provide feedback that helps the curriculum team design for real-world implementation. • Translate curriculum into mentor-ready training: turn the lesson plan into the "here's how you actually run this" version. • Partner with Regional Program Managers who directly supervise mentors. You provide the training tools; they provide local support and accountability. • Work with the data team to understand what's working and what's not: which activities are mentors struggling with? Where do fidelity scores dip? • Reach College-Aged Mentors Where They Are • Design training that fits how college students consume content: short videos, push notifications, text-based tips, interactive modules. • Experiment with new formats, from a mentor training podcast to a quick-tip video series to LMS modules. • Stay current on what motivates and engages this generation of mentors; what worked five years ago doesn't necessarily work now. • Get Out in the Field • Spend roughly 10–15% of your time observing mentors, talking with them about their experience, and using what you learn to make training more practical, more useful, and more responsive to what they actually need.
