As a brand, Magnetic Training is known for providing technical training courses globally. But who runs the day-to-day operations? To answer that, Iryna Usenko, Training Coordinator, introduces us to her daily routine and the behind-the-scenes of her coordinating role.
Could you please briefly share your background?
For education, I have graduated from National Aviation University. I've always had this growth mindset, which helped me pursue various opportunities and overcome challenges throughout my career path. I worked as a translator, secretary, and manager of international economic activities, among others, all leading to this day, where I'm currently working as a training coordinator at Magnetic Training, a sub-brand of Magnetic Group.
As a training coordinator, what are your primary responsibilities?
As you would guess, with a coordinator's role comes plenty of planning and detailed work. My primary responsibilities are the preparation of type training courses, including course records, online meetings, learning sessions, certificates, and exam records. I also support trainees and instructors, handle customer correspondence, prepare agreements and all the needed paperwork, invigilate exams, and attend office duties.
What does your daily work routine look like?
My day starts with a morning run and a cup of coffee while checking the mailbox and prioritizing my tasks. No day goes by without correspondence to our trainees and preparation of the required exam records. This also includes course records, on-site meetings, and remote exams. Before calling it a day, I take a moment to think about what went well and what I learned. It's like wrapping up one chapter and getting ready for the next day's adventures.
What advice do you have for individuals aspiring to become training coordinators or enter a similar field?
Every case is individual, but generally, I would split my advice into four steps. First, develop strong communication and organizational skills as you will communicate a lot with people of different nationalities, organize training courses, and provide support during diverse types of training. Second, be on top of your management skills. Third, stay up-to-date with contemporary training methods and technologies. Fourth, learn foreign languages, which always comes in handy.
Since 2024 is fast approaching, what can newly-joining trainees expect in the year to come?
Magnetic Training is going to introduce two new types of training courses that will be available from January 2024, such as B777 (GE 90) B1&B2 type training course, and Engine High-Pressure Compressor Blend Repair Training. All important information about the courses can be found on our website.
