In this episode, Holly discusses the topic of transitioning into a career in learning and development (L&D), specifically in instructional design. The speaker emphasizes the importance of being intentional and strategic in the career transition process.
She suggests five key steps to take before applying for roles in the L&D industry: 1) identify what you want in a role, 2) determine which sector of L&D you want to work in (e.g., education, corporate, government, freelance, etc.), 3) conduct research on the roles and responsibilities within your chosen sector, 4) develop relationships with professionals in the field, and 5) explore resources and learning opportunities to enhance your skills and knowledge. Holly also advises against expecting immediate results and emphasizes the need for perseverance and genuine connections in the industry.
