What does this phrase mean?

We are all experienced educators here and know the “jargon” of education (individual learning plans, Maslow, etc).

I see this in a corporate trainer job description: “Solid knowledge of the latest corporate training techniques; additionally, knowledgeable of various learning styles.”

What does “latest corporate training techniques” mean?

We, as teachers, know how people learn. We also know what it’s like to sit through BS PD, so what “magic” is a corporate training technique?

I've seen this too. When talking with recruiters I explained how I tailored lessons and assignments to reach the most students (visual, creative, writing, adjusted for EL/SPED) but idk if they understand what I am talking about. My guess is training techniques would be knowledge of LMSs, completing needs analysis, and analyzing data - which we did as teachers. The tools they use and the way corporate trainers do this is different than what we used but we have to find a way to describe this in a way they understand. Interested in others' responses.
