Job Description :
This part-time position is a unique opportunity for a passionate individual to work with CLIENT to empower older adults by helping them thrive in the digital world and harness technology to achieve their personal goals. Trainers are the face of CLIENT to older adults; in addition to delivering CLIENT curriculum and offering technology support, trainers serve as “brand ambassadors” and are responsible for communicating the CLIENT culture of excellence, curiosity, and attitude.
Trainers teach CLIENT’ curriculum using books and online resources specifically designed for older adults. In person classes typically meet twice a week for ten weeks. Virtual programs are primarily one-off sessions focused around particular technology topics. Trainer schedules will vary each quarter. Trainers guide participants in sending emails, exploring their interests online, connecting with family and friends on social media, banking online, starting small businesses, and much more. Our trainers are also fundamental in creating a community of support among participants.
This position requires solid proficiency in common software applications and devices, but more important is a dedication to teaching and the ability to effectively communicate the relevance of technology to seniors’ lives. A successful candidate will possess a high degree of patience, creativity, dependability, and problem-solving ability, along with a sense of humor and a strong commitment to social change.
