Teacher to ???
Hi! I’m a preschool teacher looking to transition into L&D but my problem is, idk where my skills would fit.
Some back story: I volunteer with an ATD chapter, but most of them own their own businesses so I don’t have a connection into a corporation. I’ve been applying for jobs for a while and haven’t gotten any interview requests. When I first started looking 2 years ago I was interested in instructional design or e-learning design. I was told that’s very hard to get into with AI now. I even tried applying some corporate training and learning specialist jobs and haven’t heard anything there. It’s hard trying to convince corporations on paper that I have skills to do the job. Or maybe I have to upskill more which I’m also okay with.
Can anyone lead me in the right direction? Maybe I’m unaware of some other aspects of L&D where I can use my skills to break into the industry. Is there a certification I can do? Entry level jobs that I’m not aware of?
