Job Design Training – Course Materials For Your Professional Development Courses (Save 20–30 Hours Prep Time).

We saw that many organizations struggled not just to define job roles, but to design them well.

Employees ended up overloaded, unclear on responsibilities, or stuck in roles that didn’t match their skills or aspirations.

Trainers and HR teams asked for tools to help clarify, balance, and motivate roles.

So we created the Job Design course: a ready-to-deliver, customizable training pack that helps trainers teach how to shape roles intentionally — aligning tasks, skills, expectations, and goals so people feel clear, empowered, and engaged, without spending 20–30 hours building the content from scratch.

Our training pack gives you everything you need to lead a session on job design — from editable slides and participant workbooks to a trainer guide and follow-through tools.

You walk into your workshop ready, confident, and fully equipped to deliver real value.
