Workforce Development Program Manager

Build the Future of Skilled Talent at Velociti! Velociti is growing—and our success depends on a strong, skilled, and future-ready workforce. We’re looking for a Workforce Development Program Manager to design, launch, and lead workforce development initiatives that power our technician and field operations for years to come. This is not a maintenance role. It’s a build-from-the-ground-up opportunity for a strategic, hands-on leader who thrives at the intersection of people, training, operations, and community partnerships.

You’ll architect career pathways, create training ecosystems, and build external pipelines that attract, develop, and retain top technical talent. If you’re energized by turning vision into scalable programs—and want to see your work directly impact people’s careers and company growth—this role is for you.

• Lead Workforce Development Strategy
  • Design and execute Velociti’s long-term workforce development strategy aligned with business growth.
  • Build clear, structured career pathways and progression models—especially for technician and field-based roles.
  • Define skill milestones, competencies, and readiness standards aligned with safety, technology, and operational excellence.
• Build Training & Career Pathways
  • Partner with Operations, Safety, Technology, and HR to develop relevant, job-ready training curricula.
  • Create certification, credentialing, and internal badging programs tied to real-world performance.
  • Ensure learning programs translate directly to field readiness and career advancement.
• Create Education & Community Partnerships
  • Build strong pipelines through partnerships with high schools, technical schools, colleges, and universities.
  • Collaborate on custom coursework, certifications, and programs designed specifically for Velociti roles.
  • Represent Velociti at career fairs, advisory boards, outreach events, and community initiatives.
• Develop Early-Career & Talent Pipeline Programs
  • Design and launch internships, apprenticeships, co-ops, and pre-employment training programs.
  • Generate sustained interest in technical careers at Velociti.
  • Partner closely with recruiting to align development programs with hiring needs.
• Drive Innovation & Continuous Improvement
  • Introduce experiential learning, cross-training, and creative development solutions.
  • Explore extended initiatives such as entrepreneurial or XP-based programs where applicable.
  • Track outcomes, measure impact, and continuously refine programs for maximum effectiveness.

• Successful launch and adoption of workforce development programs.
• Increased internal mobility and readiness for advanced technical roles.
• Strong, sustainable education and community partnerships.
• Growing external interest in Velociti career pathways.
• Positive feedback from employees, leaders, and partners.
• Measurable contribution to long-term workforce stability and capability.

• Bachelor’s degree in Business, Management, HR, Organizational Development, or related field (MBA preferred).
• 5+ years of experience in management consulting, workforce development, or large-scale program leadership.
• Proven ability to think big, build from scratch, and lead cross-functional initiatives.
• Strong program and project management skills with the ability to juggle multiple priorities.
• Exceptional communication and relationship-building skills.
• Comfort working across corporate offices, field environments, and external partner locations.
