The PM manages live, online training programs (typically 12-20 weeks in length), ensuring learners, teaching assistants, instructors, and other stakeholders engage and benefit from the program. Given that we offer training programs in collaboration with enterprise partners, the Program Manager also supports client relationships and brings a strong customer service orientation to all aspects of their work.
