Classroom and Lab Support

• Assist with hands-on activities involving inventory receiving, asset tagging, barcode scanning, labeling, cycle counts, physical audits, discrepancy identification, equipment staging, and asset movement.

• Support learners as they practice receiving workflows, including verifying quantities against packing slips, purchase orders, ASNs, invoices, or other simulated receiving documents.

• Assist learners with simulated Store House to Data Center Hall movement tasks, including staging materials, organizing inventory, safely moving equipment, and updating status documentation.

• Reinforce safe physical handling, PPE use, material movement, lab housekeeping, and equipment care during all hands-on activities.

• Support performance-based assessments by observing learners at lab stations and recording rubric results under the Lead Instructor’s direction.

• Provide one-on-one and small-group tutoring to learners who need additional support with inventory accuracy, process-following, documentation, equipment handling, or digital tools.

• Set up, reset, and break down lab equipment and consumables before and after each session, including asset tags, scanners, PPE, custody forms, RMA forms, receiving documents, inventory sheets, and lab materials.

• Reinforce chain-of-custody expectations for data center assets, including data-bearing devices, failed equipment, and items being staged, returned, redeployed, or decommissioned.

• Help learners connect classroom practice to workplace expectations, including ownership, accuracy, safety, escalation, documentation quality, and compliance.

Learner Performance and Support

• Track attendance and help maintain Salesforce, Canvas, the LMS, or other approved systems with grades, assessment results, lab completion, and learner progress notes.

• Help monitor learner progress and flag learners who are falling behind to the Lead Instructor.

• Provide timely learner feedback during labs and practice activities.
