Scope Overview

The International Transportation Learning Center (ITLC) is a national nonprofit based in Silver Spring, MD, dedicated to advancing frontline workforce development across industry sectors critical to the nation's economic growth—including transportation, infrastructure, and advanced manufacturing. To accomplish this mission, ITLC builds and supports partnerships that enhance workforce skills, promote career advancement, and improve organizational performance.   

ITLC is seeking experienced facilitators to facilitate our Train-the-Trainer (TtT) program. The TtT course helps subject matter experts (SMEs) and frontline leaders build the instructional and facilitation skills needed to effectively train others. This highly interactive course is built on adult learning principles and includes facilitation skills, lesson planning, learner engagement strategies, and practical teach-back sessions.

Facilitators will work as independent contractors to facilitate scheduled in-person TtT sessions throughout the U.S. This is not a full-time position, but rather a recurring opportunity based on course demand and facilitator availability.

Each course is typically 5 days in length, often involving Sunday travel, and held onsite at participating agencies.

  • Coordinate with ITLC’s training team before and after the session (agendas, materials, follow-up)

Required: 

  • Experience facilitating instructor-led training for adult learners
  • Strong facilitation, presentation, and interpersonal skills
  • Ability to engage participants, manage group dynamics, and provide constructive feedback
  • Ability to learn and confidently deliver an established curriculum
  • Professional, reliable, and comfortable representing ITLC at partner organizations
  • Ability to travel throughout the U.S. for five-day, in-person training sessions

Preferred:
