Instructional Design Staffing
What is instructional design staffing?
Instructional design staffing is a flexible resourcing model that allows learning teams to add proven instructional design expertise exactly when needed.
Rather than handing an entire project over to a consulting or managed services provider, you gain an experienced instructional design consultant who works as part of your internal team.
This model is designed for learning leaders who need to:
- Scale capacity quickly
- Fill skill gaps
- Hit aggressive timelines
- Protect their core team from burnout

Instructional design staffing helps learning leaders move work forward when they have more projects than people™, face aggressive deadlines, or need specialized skills not available internally, without overloading core team members.
When does instructional design staffing make more sense than hiring?
Instructional design staffing is ideal when work is project‑based, demand fluctuates, or future workload is uncertain. It allows leaders to scale capacity quickly while protecting internal teams and avoiding premature headcount decisions.
What types of projects are best suited for instructional design staffing?
Instructional design staffing is well suited for onboarding, system implementations, compliance initiatives, leadership development, content refreshes, and large volumes of eLearning or blended learning work that need to move quickly.
How long do instructional design staffing engagements typically last?
Instructional design staffing engagements vary based on business need and project scope. Many assignments last long enough to deliver meaningful impact while still giving leaders the flexibility to scale support up or down as priorities change.
What level of experience should I expect from instructional design staffing consultants?
TrainingPros provides highly vetted, experienced L&D practitioners who are ready to contribute quickly. L&D consultants are selected based on real project requirements, not just resumes, so they can add value from day one.
How is instructional design staffing different from outsourcing work to a vendor?
Staffing embeds an individual instructional design consultant into your team, while outsourcing hands work off to an external provider. With instructional design staffing, learning leaders retain visibility, control, and collaboration throughout the work.

Instructional design staffing allows organizations to pay for expertise only when needed, avoiding the fixed costs and long‑term commitments of permanent hires while keeping critical initiatives on track.
