The Education Training Coordinator will work closely with principals and the Director of Education to design and deliver specialized training programs that address the unique needs of school-based staff. This role focuses on ensuring employees have the knowledge, skills, and confidence necessary to provide exceptional education and care to students with IDD while supporting onboarding and ongoing professional development initiatives.

The Adult Services Training Coordinator will partner with program leadership to support OPWDD services, including residential, day, and community-based programs. This role will develop and deliver training that promotes person-centered practices, regulatory compliance, and high-quality supports for individuals with IDD. The coordinator will ensure staff are prepared to meet OPWDD requirements and provide effective, compassionate services across adult programs.

Both Training Coordinators will report to the Director of Workforce Development and collaborate with the agency's Training Department on larger organizational initiatives, support new employee orientation, facilitate ongoing staff development, and help cultivate a supportive, inclusive, and dynamic learning environment where employees and the individuals we serve can thrive.

This position requires regular travel to programs in Dutchess and Orange counties. Travel during the work day is reimbursed at the going IRS rate.

1 or more years of experience working with diverse teams and in a collaborative environment, developing and delivering training programs, including in-person and virtual sessions, workshops, and professional development initiatives.
The ability to become certified (provided by agency) within 6 months as a trainer in behavior management systems is required.
