Design and build a training program for IHS immunization reporting: develop training approach, create self-paced and instructor-led curricula and materials, apply adult learning principles, map objectives to job behaviors, deliver train‑the‑trainer sessions, and refine materials based on government feedback.
About the Opportunity
Akicita is seeking a Training Specialist / Instructional Designer to build the training program for a nationwide Indian Health Service (IHS) immunization reporting initiative.
This is a remote, part-time engagement (approximately 360 hours over a 12-month base period beginning August 2026).
Why Join Us
Your training will equip clinicians and program staff across Indian Country to turn immunization data into action — and higher vaccination coverage.
What You'll Do
• Develop the overall training approach and plan for IHS providers, program staff, and end users of immunization data systems
• Design and build two training modalities: (1) a self-paced module learners can complete independently, and (2) an instructor-led curriculum and guide the IHS HQ immunization team will use to deliver in-person and virtual trainings
• Create the full training product suite: instructor guide, participant workbook/quick reference guide, slide deck, job aids, and case studies/practice scenarios
• Apply adult learning principles and address multiple learning modalities; map every learning objective to a job behavior (accessing reports, interpreting data, identifying coverage gaps, informing outreach and recall, monitoring progress)
• Deliver virtual train-the-trainer sessions to the IHS HQ immunization team and coach them on presenting the training to end users
• Refine and finalize the training package based on Government feedback, delivering editable source files for long-term IHS use
