I had the pleasure of working with Catherine at PACE Supply, where she excelled in her role as Training Manager. Leveraging her expertise in adult learning theory, instructional design, and development, we co-created a mentor training program that successfully prepared over 300 mentors in both warehouse and sales roles. This program significantly increased mentor confidence and effectiveness.
Additionally, Catherine applied her skills in training analysis and development to create a robust New Hire Orientation program, which she delivered in a hybrid format. Her ability to connect with employees and keep them engaged throughout the half-day session made the program both impactful and effective.
