Teachers transitioning into professional practice in Instructional Design
If you are considering leaving the classroom and transitioning to the private sector in an organization’s learning and development capacity, then we have experience helping those professionals make that career switch.
Below are links to ATD blog series articles that were written by graduates of the MS and Graduate Certificate in Workplace Instructional Design. Each of the below individuals were teachers when they started their OPWL studies and have since transitioned into professional practice in the field.
