My sister has been in public education (K-12) for the last decade and looking to make a career change into corporate learning and development.

Looking for advice and leads to companies that may be willing to take a chance on career change folks. Her skills are absolutely transferrable. She’s great with people and would love to continue in a training or L&D role.

Any leads would be appreciated!

Not sure if you still need this, but a lot of people in my company are transitioning to L&D from untraditional roles.

She can explain in her interview that she believes she has more experience and is looking to grow quickly.
