I've spent the last four months talking to L&D leaders about the challenges and opportunities related to high-quality, scalable employer-provided training. Too much of the existing training available to employees is impersonal and ineffective, resembling the compliance training we've all done and hate. At InStride we're tackling this head-on by working with our innovative academic partners to create immersive, collaborative experiences that drive deep skill and knowledge acquisition. The secret? Blending cohort-based, collaborative learning with strategically timed instructor-led sessions and engaging self-paced modules. This approach ensures every learner is actively involved, stays engaged, and applies what they learn in real-time. This is the future of workforce education, and it's incredibly exciting to be part of it. #LearningAndDevelopment #WorkforceEducation #EmployeeTraining #FutureOfWork

Teachers! Looking to transition out of the classroom and don't know where to start? Here are some potential job titles to look for during your search that will leverage your teaching experience while moving out of the classroom. -Curriculum Designer/Development -Education Consultant -Customer Success Manager -Training and Development Specialist -Professional Development Trainer -Sales Representative -Educational Program Manager -Learning Coordinator -Technical Support Specialist Use this as a general guideline but it's important to note, that job titles can vary widely between companies, even for similar roles, and don't always reflect the exact responsibilities. It's important to use the title as a general guide but focus on the job description to understand the specific duties and expectations for that position. #education #edtech #transitioningteachers #talentaquisitions #edtechrecruiter #jobsearch #recruiter

“Michael, training is for new recruits and youngsters.” Au contraire! If this is your attitude, you’re likely alienating a large segment of your workforce and missing out on a prime opportunity to upskill your team. A new study from InStride found that Gen X employees and Boomers want to keep learning. More than half would even consider going back to school. This fact is especially important because job descriptions are changing rapidly in the face of AI and other emerging technologies. The old stereotype that older folks don’t take to new technologies well is not always true. Supporting those who want or need to upskill is a valuable way to improve your internal talent pool and avoid having to recruit externally — maybe surprising to hear from a recruiter, but there you have it. Better training and education benefits also impact your hiring. People want to work for companies that are invested in the success of their employees.

Job descriptions !! My soap box speciality! Sharing not to suggest you apply - although do feel free to too ?? but to share an example of what a job description could look like. I particularly like: ?? the day in the life and is the role right for you slides providing clarity on what the candidate will be doing and what skills are needed. ?? Company information at the end - rather than the first paragraph - so a candidate decides on the role before the company. ?? Use of colour and infographics for those who don’t like a lot of detail. ?? Clarity on where and how the candidate will work. And the salary being paid. For those that are neurodivergent, there are still gaps, however definitely worth a read. #NeurodiversityAtWork

Over the past 5/6 years teaching and my kids (students) have been my everything. It's always been about more than just sharing knowledge, it’s about creating meaningful, engaging learning experiences and empowering students to grow and constantly advocate for their needs. Over the years, I’ve honed my skills in designing curriculum, coaching others, and using technology to improve learning outcomes. Now, I’m excited to bring that experience into the world of Learning & Development! Transitioning from K-12 education to L&D has been an incredible learning experience. Tools and frameworks like ADDIE and Bloom’s Taxonomy feel familiar, but applying them to adult learners in a corporate setting has been a fun challenge. I’ve discovered that so many of the skills I developed as an educator—like adapting to diverse needs, fostering collaboration, and delivering impactful lessons—translate seamlessly into this new space. What inspires me most about this transition is the opportunity to create learning experiences that go beyond the classroom and drive real world results. Whether it’s designing inclusive training programs, enhancing employee engagement, or supporting organizational goals, I’m eager to make a meaningful impact. For my fellow educators thinking about a pivot: your skills are more transferable than you might realize. The ability to connect with learners, manage complex projects, and continuously adapt are invaluable in any environment. I’d love to connect with others in the L&D space—or educators exploring new career paths. Let’s share experiences and learn from one another as we grow! ?? #TransitioningTeachers

What a pleasure to talk with Charles Handler, Ph.D. about Education Design Lab's skills validation efforts! If you've been thinking about how to use #edtech to leverage the existing skills of the learner/earners in your world, this conversation is a great place to start!

Did you know that up to 70% of learning happens through on-the-job experiences and interactions? It’s a reminder that growth isn’t just about formal education—it’s about everyday problem-solving, conversations, and hands-on work. What’s something valuable you’ve learned recently just by doing? Let’s swap lessons! #ContinuousLearning #GrowthMindset #LearningByDoing #CareerDevelopment #Networking #Jobs

We onboarded a new team member. Right after we signed, she told me: "I’m single with twin infants and might need a break to help them sometimes.” Online learning can be tough. Professors expect students to excel. Here’s what you should do: - **Ask for help**: Never hesitate to reach out to your professors or classmates. - **Stay organized**: Keep track of deadlines and manage your time well. - **Participate actively**: Engage in discussions and group projects. And what you shouldn’t do: - **Procrastinate**: Avoid leaving assignments until the last minute. - **Ignore feedback**: Use it to improve your work. - **Work in isolation**: Collaborate and seek support when needed. Remember, seeking help is a strength, not a weakness. And don’t forget, personal branding matters. Showcase your skills and achievements online. It can open doors to new opportunities. Excelling in online studies and building your brand go hand in hand. Stay proactive and make the most of your online learning experience.
