I think the key thing is how many “trainers” get promoted to other positions in the firm? It is almost like teaching is considered a low status entry level job.

Oh wait, we are in America, right? Of course it is.

Good observation, David, though there seems to be a chicken-and-egg thing at play. Assuming trainers are getting paid, wouldn’t the vendors staff up on these positions? Which suggests to me that perhaps associations aren’t demanding enough training (or are unwilling to pay for said training).

How many vendors have a person in charge of training who is as important as the head of sales, project management director, or head developer? The “redheaded stepchild” will get less attention.
