Overview

Welcome to Find My SME, an online platform where businesses and organizations can search, connect, and hire from a list of corporate trainers to fulfill their training needs. The idea of Find My SME was born when I was operating as a corporate training liaison. Corporations relied on me to help identify employee skill gaps and connect them with SMEs to train their most valuable assets – their employees. I soon discovered there was no registry or connection medium of SMEs I could leverage to identify or evaluate for possible training opportunities. Countless hours were spent searching for the right SME. I relied on word of mouth, my colleagues, and ultimately various social media platforms just to find SMEs within a specific need-set; however, properly evaluating them to ensure they were a match for the organization’s culture, presented a whole different host of challenges. Finding a SME who has the experience, is currently in the field of training, and compliments the organization’s culture is critical. Too often, we either don’t hold training because we can’t find someone, the person preferred is booked, or worse, we hire the wrong person for the job while a better SME was just waiting to be discovered. Thus creating Find My SME. Where corporate trainers and consultants can post their profiles and are searchable to organizations and businesses seeking their expertise.
