Training may be one of a Data Engineers many responsibilities. Co-workers may need to be trained on new processes or systems you have built or new employees may need training on well established architectures and pipelines. Technology is constantly changing so it is likely training opportunities will exist on a regular basis. When identifying the difficult aspect of training you experienced, be sure to also include how you dealt with it.

"Yes, I do have experience administering both individual and group training. Through my experiences I have found that one of the more difficult aspects is training new, but experience employees, who have come from a company that approached data from an entirely different perspective. These new employees may 'speak the language' and have the necessary skills, but sometimes have strong opinions on how to approach different projects. It becomes a challenge to train them when they struggle to be open-minded. I have learned it is helpful to highlight the successes we've had with our processes and architecture to help them realize there is never a 'one-size-fits-all' solution."
