Training and certification: The coordinator monitors and certifies new TRAC instructors at participating colleges to ensure they are qualified to teach all Ford TRAC Training Courses.
Student monitoring: This role provides administrative support to TRAC students to ensure they have continuous access to all required Ford systems and resources while in the program.

Develop reporting metrics and channels to monitor program health in partnership with community colleges, technical schools, and dealerships. Translate findings into improvement plans and corrective actions as needed.
Forecasting & Analytics: Gather input from cross-functional skills teams to assess demand and identify locations for new Ford TRAC programs. Leverage AI and analytics tools to build data-driven business cases supporting program expansion.
