Learning Coordinator spotlight
Every site runs better with a coordinator
Coordinators are the local connection between Sonoco University and the people on the floor.
- Enroll teams quickly instead of one learner at a time.
- Record live attendance so completions land in transcripts.
- Pull site reports to see who still needs required training.
