Is it program or programme?

As in training
eg Program Manager or Programme Manager.

Google brings up both.

Example:
This computer program is not responding.

When referring to television or training, we would use the noun ‘programme’.

In the UK it would be a Training Programme (well assuming you mean Programme in the sense of a "course" or "regime"), so Programme Manager.

In the US its Program.

Not necesarily.

The DHSS in Belfast use 'Program Manager' and 'Program' for some 'Programme' related positions. So it all depends on the situation, and is not necessarily 'Programme' for the UK.

Scroll to the bottom for examples (you can see they have 'Program' positions spelt in both flavours - so take your pick)
