Are you a strong communicator who can turn complex information into meaningful learning experiences, and has the initiative to take an idea from assessment to action? The Criminal Injuries Compensation Fund (CICF) is seeking a Training & Outreach Coordinator to lead training and outreach efforts for employees, partners, and allied professionals.

This highly visible, public-facing role is ideal for someone who enjoys building programs and relationships, confidently presenting to diverse audiences, and independently turning identified needs into organized plans and results. If you’re ready to use your training, teaching, communications, outreach, or public-service experience to make a meaningful impact for Virginia’s victims and those who serve them, we’d love to hear from you.

What You'll Do 

As the Training & Outreach Coordinator, you’ll take the lead in developing and delivering training that helps CICF employees, partner agencies, and allied professionals understand CICF programs, services, processes, and resources. You’ll have the opportunity to assess what training is needed, build the plan, develop engaging content, and bring that training to life, both virtually and in person.

In this role, you will:

• Assess internal and external training needs and develop plans to address identified gaps.
• Design, develop, and deliver engaging training, curriculum, presentations, and supporting materials.
• Coordinate training and onboarding resources for CICF employees, including ongoing education related to processes and procedures.
• Maintain training records, evaluate training effectiveness, and use feedback to continuously improve programming.
• Build relationships with victim-service organizations, partner agencies, and other stakeholders throughout Virginia.
• Represent CICF at trainings, workshops, conferences, coalition meetings, outreach events, and other public-facing opportunities.
• Develop resources and provide training and support related to WebFile and other CICF services.
• Coordinate outreach materials and help ensure CICF's website and public-facing information remain current and useful.
• Coordinate CICF's sponsorship program, including reviewing requests, maintaining records, communicating with applicants, and preparing information and recommendations for leadership.

Represent CICF during critical events and emergencies, including Family Assistance Center activations when needed.
These responsibilities align with the three primary functions in the updated PD: training, outreach, and sponsorship coordination, along with the newly identified critical-event responsibility.

What We're Looking For

This role needs someone who can do more than deliver a presentation that has already been created. We’re looking for someone who can identify a need, determine a path forward, develop the resources, and follow through on implementation.

You’ll likely thrive in this role if you:

• Are an engaging and confident communicator who enjoys presenting to a variety of audiences.
• Take initiative and are comfortable working independently while keeping leadership informed.
• Know how to move a project from an idea or identified need to an organized, executable plan.
• Can translate detailed policies, procedures, and complex information into clear, understandable content.
• Are highly organized and can manage multiple trainings, projects, stakeholders, deadlines, and records.
• Enjoy developing relationships and representing an organization in the community.
• Can receive feedback and navigate challenging conversations professionally.
  
• Approach sensitive subject matter and individuals affected by crime with empathy, professionalism, and sound judgment.
  
• Are comfortable adapting when priorities change or an unexpected need arises.
