hi, i have an intrinsic interest to nurture talents and the L&D domain. however i am not from HR, just a former team leader who somehow grew into this by chance...how does one become a learning and development professional within an organisation? and can someone without a HR degree/foundation actually branch into it? or is this just a secret power soft skill thing that is marketable? like to hear from current pros as well as anyone with any useful hacks to start from. thanks!

To qualify, I'm not directly from the L&D field, but my gut feeling is that it's a very niche and closed-door world in SG at the moment. Give it a decade or so, and there might be more favourable conditions.

not really the case....

L&D is doing very well at the moment ( SG gov knows they need to upskill talent) - i'd look at getting some coaching or specific learning program certifications.

ok. im working on some foundational coaching. just anticipating how to apply into the role if no direct experience.thanks again.

Hi Everyone,
I need your views and suggestions. I have two doubts:
1. Is it fair to leave an organisation (big brand) after a year as the environment is real toxic and there’s no career growth as well in terms of good work.
2. If I have to make a switch do I really have to target big brands only or can try for medium and small size companies too.
