Corporate trainers are instructors who work in a business environment and convey knowledge or skills to a group of employees. They may be hired full-time by a company to train new employees and assist in the transition to new business systems. Others work as independent consultants or freelancers and visit businesses on a short-term basis to train employees, increase efficiency and assist employees in the midst of company mergers. Corporate trainers hail to this line of work from a variety of education paths and employment backgrounds.

They can work in a variety of business settings, so you should spend some time thinking about what area of business interests you the most. Consider your own skills and expertise and think about the area you can fit into. Corporate trainers will generally be situated within the human resources department but trainers can specialise in everything from marketing, finance, education and compliance.
