If you create materials for a client in the absence of any written
contract, the materials belong to the client. Nobody else has a right to
use them, including you, without express written permission from the
copyright owner. If there is a contract, the person paying probably still
maintains ownership.

If you are trying to impress somebody with your ability to write training
materials for a specific task, you are displaying not only your writing,
but also how your client deals with that task. Unless the task is pretty
generic, your employer or client spent spend time and money engineering the
solutions you documented. Giving that material to someone in the same
business could financially benefit that new business regardless of whether
they hire you. It can be competitive intelligence.

Ask the person you contracted with for permission. They will tell you which
materials are okay to use as you have proposed, and will respect you for
asking.
