About Essentrix Global

Essentrix Global LLC is a workforce development and professional training company focused on bridging the gap between education and industry. Our work centers on workforce readiness, leadership development, career advancement, and helping individuals build the skills needed to succeed in today’s workplace.

We are developing a professional learning academy integrated into our existing WordPress website. We are seeking a skilled WordPress LMS developer with e-learning instructional design capabilities to help us build a functional, engaging, and scalable online learning experience.

Project Overview

The selected contractor will configure and develop an online learning academy within the existing Essentrix Global WordPress website using a suitable learning management system (LMS), preferably Tutor LMS Enterprise.

The academy will initially contain 10 professional development courses, each with 11 modules, for a total of 110 modules.

Essentrix Global has existing course guides and curriculum materials that will serve as the foundation for course development. The contractor will transform these materials into structured, engaging online learning experiences. This project involves more than installing an LMS plugin or uploading PDFs.

The finished platform should be easy for learners to navigate and allow Essentrix Global to manage content and add future courses without requiring extensive developer involvement for routine updates.

Initial Course Catalog

The academy will initially include the following 10 courses:

• Professional Foundations
• Communication & Workplace Etiquette
• Career Branding
• Resume & LinkedIn
• Job Search & Networking
• Interview Excellence
• Workplace Success
• Leadership & Emotional Intelligence
• Digital Workplace Skills
• Career Launch & Professional Development

Each course contains 11 modules, including a final integration or capstone module where specified in the supplied curriculum guides.

Total initial scope: 10 courses and 110 modules.
