Training Manager for Minor Anti-Trafficking Intervention

Training Manager for Minor Anti-Trafficking Intervention

The major responsibility of the Manager is to utilize his / her diverse skills to support the Improving Outcomes for Trafficked Minors project, funded by the U.S. Department of Justice, and implemented throughout the Commonwealth of Virginia. Knowledge of adult learning and adult training programs is a must. Under general supervision by the Director of Anti-Human Trafficking, and reporting to the State Coordinator for Minor Trafficking Intervention, the Training Manager will support the management of a multi-year project throughout the Commonwealth, to standardize and improve how trafficked minors are identified and supported. A primary objective will be to coordinate the Interagency Human Trafficking Working Group ("Working Group"). The Working Group will include high-level state government officials who will collaborate to provide policy-level guidance and support to the project. The Manager will support the Coordinator in planning, coordinating and facilitating Working Group meetings. The manager will ensure good record-keeping, communication and meeting follow up. The project includes a state-wide gap analysis by a research institution, as well as training of identified state-wide personnel. The Manager will take a lead role in designing and planning all training sessions. While much of the training will be done by the lived-experience efforts, the Manager is responsible for the design, coordination, and support, so that all trainings are comprehensive and trauma-informed. The Manager will lead the revision of the Anti-Human Trafficking Tool Kit for Minors, to reflect research findings and Working Group guidance. This could include external research to finalize the toolkit. The Manager will support grant management, including narrative and financial reporting, grant compliance and will attend required trainings and award-related meetings.
