As a CO+I Learning IT Technical Trainer you will contribute to establishing technical training delivery, workforce training needs analysis, and engaging with your team in procedural change management activities in support of the datacenters in your area of responsibility.

Are you passionate about empowering IT professionals through impactful learning? We’re looking for a dynamic trainer to deliver engaging, tech-forward training experiences—both in-person and virtually to our IT Technicians. In this role, you’ll use a mix of presentations, labs, and simulations to prepare technicians for local qualifications, while aligning learning outcomes with key success metrics like cloud adoption and learner feedback. You’ll also help shape our curriculum by incorporating the latest technologies and sharing insights with the broader Learning Team. If you thrive in a collaborative, learner-focused environment and embody our values, we’d love to hear from you.

As a group, CO+I is focused on the personal and professional development for all employees and offers trainings and growth opportunities including Career Rotation Programs, Diversity & Inclusion trainings and events, and professional certifications.
Our infrastructure is comprised of a large global portfolio of more than 200 datacenters in 32 countries and millions of servers. Our foundation is built upon and managed by a team of subject matter experts working to support services for more than 1 billion customers and 20 million businesses in over 90 countries worldwide. With environmental sustainability and optimization at the forefront of our datacenter design and operations, we continue to grow and evolve as we meet the ever-changing business demands that hold Microsoft as a world-class cloud provider.
Microsoft’s mission is to empower every person and every organization on the planet to achieve more. As employees we come together with a growth mindset, innovate to empower others, and collaborate to realize our shared goals.
