Curriculum / Training Specialist
Overview. Curriculum specialists select textbooks and other curriculum to train teachers.
Management directs training specialists to design or select training programs, teach or choose instructors for workshops, and evaluate the workshop results. However, online training using simulations is becoming a popular form of instruction.
Training specialists can have rewarding jobs, because they help individuals learn, while not being responsible for the actual instruction, and, since training specialists select curriculum, they are constantly learning new things.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics projects job growth for training specialist jobs to expand at an above average rate through 2016. Moreover, spending on public education will continue to increase even during recessions.
Training specialists can have rewarding careers because there are many job opportunities, generally stress free work, job security, and usually have the summers off.
