Job Description

We’re looking for an L&D Facilitator to lead and facilitate onboarding and trainings for our graduates across North America.

We are experiencing lots of growth in the Early Careers space from 2022 onwards and you will be responsible for the running of our robust 5 week training program where the graduates will be introduced to life at PS and build their capability and professional skills so they add value to clients from their first project assignment.

After the onboarding period the graduates will build skills through on the job exposure and experience, as well as completing structured learning paths. You will be part of team delivering trainings to our graduates across their first 3 years.

Within this role you need to be a strong team player and partner with Early Careers, Talent Acquisition, HR operations, IT and other internal teams to ensure the graduates have a smooth experience. You will love interacting and communicating with graduates and be passionate about making them feel part of Publicis Sapient.

During a few months of the year where we do not onboard any graduates you will support the Early Careers Team with behavioral interviews giving you the chance to meet future potential graduates and interns. As well as improving existing processes, the onboarding design and getting involved with wider L&D initiatives.

• Run an integrated group project with each cohort (weeks 4-5) to test their learning from prior weeks
• Respond to queries, questions and issues the graduates face in the first 5 weeks
• Conduct behavioral interviews during quiet onboarding/training periods  
• Collate feedback and share with the Early Careers team
• Work on improvements to the onboarding program and processes   
• Support with broader learning initiatives, such as learning design

Qualifications
