Leadership and Management Corporate Trainer (Contractor)

About Skill Rise 360 Skill Rise 360 helps organizations strengthen their workforce through engaging, practical, and results-oriented training. We specialize in delivering development programs that support continuous learning, skill enhancement, and workplace performance. Our team is committed to creating interactive, relevant experiences that meet the needs of today’s evolving professional landscape. As our organization continues to grow, we are expanding our network of trainers who are passionate about educating adult learners and delivering high-quality training that makes a meaningful impact. Role Overview & Expectations The Corporate Trainer will facilitate professional development sessions for adult learners in both virtual and in-person settings. Programs may vary from short workshops to multi-day sessions depending on client needs. Trainers create an interactive environment by presenting content clearly, leading discussions, and helping participants apply new skills in practical ways. Skill Rise 360 offers supportive resources, updated course materials, and consistent communication to ensure trainers have what they need to deliver high-quality learning experience. This is a hybrid rule with most delivery taking place virtually; however, when clients request in-person training, trainers should be fully prepared and comfortable traveling for those sessions. Assignments are offered based on trainer availability as well as expertise, client needs, and course alignment. This opportunity is a 1099 independent contracting position, which does not include employee benefits. Trainers enjoy the flexibility to set their own schedules and choose assignments that fit their availability. Training opportunities are based on client demand and may be cancelled if minimum enrollment is not met, therefore assignments are not guaranteed.
