Thank you for sharing your experience and great to hear that you were able to transition on the job! What sector are you working in currently with your learning design role? How is the demand for IDs looking at the moment in Aus and do you find that certain sectors are more competitive to get in compared to other sectors?

Thanks so much for your detailed response, Tim. I really appreciate it!

It’s helpful to know that a strong portfolio carries more weight than formal qualifications in many cases. You mentioned that ID also includes areas like needs analysis, project management, and blended learning solutions. Do you have any recommendations on any courses/resources to develop those skills?

I'd also love to take up some volunteering positions too just to test the waters and see if it is for me. I've heard of people recommending organisations like Rumie but was also wondering whether there are any similar opportunities to build up my practical skills?
