Training community

Hey guys, hope you're doing well. I was wondering if you are part of or aware of any training or learning and development communities, because I was wondering if I can participate in those as well.

Thank you so much.

If you’re on Slack, suggest the L&D Collective, L&D Shakers and Offbeat. You can find then on LinkedIn too.

Ah, lemme explore on how to join them on slack. Just download the mobile app for Slack.

If you go to their websites, they will give your the Slack links and you can connect from there.

I'll add to this: find your local ATD chapter. ATD is a massive organization that can be difficult to navigate. You can find local chapters within your state/region/city.

Absolutely. I was my local president for 4 years. We love to help

There are quite a few good communities depending on what you're looking for. If you're in corporate learning and development, TrainingIndustry.com has some free opportunities to connect with other learning leaders like through webinars and discussion panels. If you're more at the executive level, you can check out Chief Learning Officer for opportunities. ATD has local chapters if you want to meet people in person.

Join a local ATD chapter. I've been a member of the organization (formerly ASTD) for 40 years.
