About Kevin Anderson

I fully subscribe to the “you have to know it to teach it” theory of education. To that end, in addition to 15 years’ experience designing, developing, and implementing strategic learning programs, I have 20+ years’ manufacturing industry related product knowledge, management experience, and the business acumen to keep company policies, procedures, and mission statements in mind while delivering learning objectives. All learning models use blended training curriculums inclusive of various adult learning styles and training materials are relevant and up-to-date. Targeted industry knowledge, plus advanced classroom management techniques, guarantee learning environments that are perfectly suited to support maximum knowledge retention and learning development. The use of face-to-face teaching, webinars, videos, and virtual self-paced learning courses further the success of my students.Highly skilled at collaborating with SMEs in relevant departments to strategize and execute targeted, department-specific, learning initiatives for end-users, engineers, installers, and internal employees. Additionally, these targeted learning objectives guarantee that I am meeting learners where they are in the learning cycle and developmental initiatives are properly prioritized. Relevant needs assessments and gap analyses ensure alignment to the learning objectives. Relevant skills and core proficiencies are demonstrated through:Project Management & Execution, Leadership Training, Design and Delivery of Training Programs, Instructional Design, Program Development & Coordination, e-Classroom/Virtual Learning Modules, Vendor Relations, Multi-Tasking Under Heavy Deadlines, and Verbal, Written, and Presentation Skills
