Mercy Corps Learning & Development team is transitioning to a new Learning Management System (LMS). The Learning Management System tracks the progress of and provides access to a wide assortment of training courses available to Mercy Corps team members. With the arrival of this new system, our large library of courses must be uploaded, properly cataloged, and tested in the new system. Additionally, courses will be organized into curriculums with official certificates associated with their successful completion.

The intern will identify and create curriculums of courses and create certificates of completion. Courses will also be organized within the LMS by subject to facilitate the ability of global Mercy Corps team members to quickly find and access relevant material.
