Training is a critical function in any organization.
As a training professional, you support your organization by understanding the needs of your particular industry as well as the adult learners who are your clients. You are a team player, coach, mentor, course and curriculum developer, and administrator. You are aware of the need to understand the role of technologies in instruction and administration as well as trends in your communities, your organizations, and in society at large that affect your workplace. And while many of you have very responsible positions, only a small percentage of training professionals have had formal education in adult learning and designing and managing business training programs. However, you may have years of work experience and advanced degrees in other areas.
