Leidos has a career opportunity for a talented Training Developer in Orlando, Florida to support a critical Navy effort named Sailor 2025 RRL.

Content Conversion is coupled with, but distinct from, Courseware Modernization, which focuses on the delivery of training curricula – the timing and point of need along a Sailor’s Career Long Learning Continuum (CLLC), the delivery system(s) and supporting Information Systems and Technology (IS&T) architecture, and the recording of learning event data for analytics.
