We move fast, build real hardware for meaningful missions, and make the impossible routine. Come shape the future with us.</div>ABOUT ROCKET LAB  Rocket Lab is a global leader in launch and space systems. We're opening access to space to improve life on Earth through our Electron rocket and Neutron launch vehicle programs, alongside our space systems business. From pioneering carbon composite rocket technology to delivering reliable and rapid launch services, we're pushing the boundaries of what's possible in aerospace.  ABOUT THE ROLE  We're looking for a motivated intern to join our Learning & Development team in Auckland. As a Learning & Development Intern, you will play a key role in creating On-The-Job (OTJ) training within Rocket Lab through the launch of recording OTJ training within our corporate training database (RL2) and subsequent reporting to managers. This reporting is essential for the effective development and deployment of staff across our rapidly growing organization.  During your internship, you will create OTJ courses based on team-based matrices across the organisation, working with subject matter experts to understand the key criteria for signing off competencies in all specialist fields, from propulsion engineers to avionics technicians.  This project offers you the opportunity to apply your software and analytical skills in a fast-growing environment and gain exposure to the space industry.  WHAT YOU WILL DO  Weeks 1-8: Foundation Phase  <ul> <li>Complete onboarding on RL2 software and L&D processes </li> <li>Rename courses to pull through to reports effectively </li> <li>Create simple courses within the training database </li> <li>Assist with practical training sessions from an administration viewpoint </li> <li>Build relationships with subject matter experts across the organisation </li> </ul> Weeks 9 onwards: Development Phase  <ul> <li>Develop OTJ courses per team matrix with priority given to Neutron teams and those that intersect with Electron </li> <li>Collaborate with subject matter experts to identify and document key competencies </li> <li>Use analytical and influencing skills to ensure only the most important competency factors are included in each OTJ course </li> <li>Design intuitive and user-friendly course structures within RL2 </li> <li>Support the implementation and rollout of new training courses </li> <li>Generate reports for managers to track staff development and competency completion </li> </ul> PROJECT GOALS  There are over 157 team-based matrices in development which results in over 1600 OTJ courses to develop. The key critical success factor will be your ability to use analytical and influencing skills to ensure only the most important competency factors are included in each OTJ course, creating a streamlined and effective training system.  WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR  MUST HAVE:  <ul> <li>Recently completed or currently completing a Bachelor's degree in Software Engineering, Media Design, or related field (graduates up to 4 years post-graduation welcome) </li> <li>Strong software skills with ability to quickly learn new systems and databases </li> <li>Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work through complex information architecture challenges </li> <li>Design skills with an eye for creating intuitive user experiences </li> <li>Strong analytical skills to identify and prioritize critical competency requirements </li> <li>Excellent communication and influencing skills to work effectively with subject matter experts </li> <li>Self-managed and committed to working in a fast-paced environment </li> <li>Professional and positive communication skills </li> <li>Strong interpersonal skills and ability to work collaboratively across multiple teams </li> <li>Detail-oriented with strong organisational skills </li> </ul> NICE TO HAVE:  <ul> <li>Experience with Learning Management Systems (LMS) or training databases </li> <li>Understanding of competency-based training frameworks </li> <li>Experience with data analysis and reporting </li> <li>Familiarity with instructional design principles </li> <li>Background in technical writing or documentation </li> <li>Interest in organizational development and employee training </li> <li>Passion for aerospace, space technology, and innovation </li> </ul> WHAT WE OFFER  <ul> <li>Hands-on experience building a critical training infrastructure for a leading aerospace company </li> <li>Exposure to diverse technical disciplines across rocket and spacecraft systems </li> <li>Opportunity to work with world-class engineers and industry professionals across the organization </li> <li>Professional development in Learning & Development, instructional design, and organizational systems </li> <li>Collaborative and innovative work environ
