Protect our Land, Ascend with Us!

Ascension is seeking a detail-oriented Training Materials / Training Support Specialist to support the development, formatting, editing, and quality review of training products for the Marine Corps iNFADS professional services effort. This role supports Task 5 by helping prepare annual training plans, training manuals, lesson plans, course evaluation forms, training materials, and training trip report inputs for iNFADS and related facilities planning system training.

This position is important because the PWS identifies user training as a key component of the contract and requires training support across classroom and virtual delivery environments. The broader requirement supports MCICOM’s use of iNFADS as the Department of Navy real property accountable property system of record, including data, audit, facilities, and real property management functions.

Summary of the Contractor Role

The Training Materials / Training Support Specialist will assist Ascension’s technical and training leads by preparing clear, accurate, user-friendly, and Government-compliant training documentation. The ideal candidate should be organized, responsive, and comfortable working with subject matter experts to turn technical system guidance into polished training products.

The PWS requires an annual training plan within 120 days of award, Government review and approval of training manuals before distribution, and adherence to approved course manuals and training materials during instruction. The PWS also requires six annual classroom or virtual end-user training sessions, lesson plans, training materials, course evaluations, and training trip reports documenting student feedback and training effectiveness.

This role is best suited for a candidate who can support formatting, editing, version control, course material updates, PowerPoint development, evaluation form preparation, and training documentation packages. The candidate should be able to work with Microsoft Office 365, Teams, SharePoint or similar document repositories, PDF tools, and basic accessibility/Section 508 review features in Microsoft Office.

Position Responsibilities

The Training Materials / Training Support Specialist will be expected to:

• Develop and format training manuals, student guides, instructor materials, lesson plans, and course handouts.
• Edit and proofread training materials for clarity, consistency, grammar, formatting, and compliance with approved templates.
• Support the annual iNFADS training plan by organizing draft content, training dates, locations, constraints, and delivery assumptions.
• Prepare course evaluation forms and compile student feedback for review by the training lead and project manager.
• Support training trip report inputs by organizing evaluation results, attendance information, lessons learned, and recommended improvements.
• Maintain version control for draft, review, revised, and final Government-approved training materials.
• Coordinate with SMEs to convert technical system guidance into user-friendly training content.
• Create and update PowerPoint presentations, job aids, quick reference guides, process visuals, and other training support materials.
• Ensure final deliverables are provided in Microsoft Office 365-compatible formats and are organized, accurate, and editable by the Government as required by the PWS.
• Apply basic accessibility checks to Word, PowerPoint, PDF, and SharePoint-ready materials before submission.
• Support virtual training preparation using Microsoft Teams or similar collaboration tools.
• Assist with organizing approved training files in a shared repository for easy retrieval, reuse, and audit support.
