PATHWAY CONNECTION

Rowan College of South Jersey (RCSJ) developed a turnkey Train-the-Trainer Program to create a pipeline of career and technical education (CTE) instructors, as well as create new career opportunities for construction workers. This program was created for first time classroom instructors and individuals who are transitioning into a new role as an instructor with little to no training or previous classroom experience. Designed to prepare experienced construction professionals, it upskills the current workforce and creates opportunities for them to learn the skills needed to teach non-credit programs within New Jersey’s Community College network.

The Train-the-Trainer program covers topics such as Effective Communication, Presentation Skills, Understanding Adult Learners, and Course Planning and Preparation. The program can be delivered virtually or in-person as a non-credit program.
