About Aspire Training and Development: www.aspiretraininganddevelopment.com

Aspire Training and Development provides practical, high-impact professional development programs that help organizations strengthen their people and build internal capabilities.

We are expanding our AI training offerings and are seeking experienced AI instructors to deliver our AI Champions Program and advanced AI workshops to business professionals, managers, leaders, and internal AI Champions.

About the Opportunity

We are seeking experienced AI instructors, practitioners, consultants, and technology professionals who can deliver engaging, practical training that helps organizations apply AI to real business opportunities.

Our programs are designed primarily for business professionals rather than software engineers. Instructors must be able to take potentially complex AI concepts and make them accessible, practical, and relevant to participants working in areas such as sales, marketing, operations, HR, finance, customer service, and management.

We offer nine AI courses covering business applications, advanced AI use, automation, agents, internal applications, governance, strategy, and implementation.

We do not expect every instructor to be qualified to teach all nine courses. Instructors will be selected for courses based on their areas of expertise, training experience, and availability. Candidates who are qualified to teach multiple courses may have opportunities to deliver multiple programs.

Training will be delivered primarily online, with some opportunities for in-person delivery in Massachusetts.
