After graduation, I'll be starting with
IBM in their Talent and Engagement
practice area as a consultant. I'm really
excited to use the skills that I've been
learning throughout my time in the AHRD
program. We're able to tailor trainings,
design documents, do some problem-solving,
needs assessments — in a way that adults
will receive well. Then we also have
the Instructional Design piece, which is
focused on being able to look at programs
holistically. Our class sizes are small;
it leaves a lot of room for open
discussions. My confidence has increased.
I can feel myself becoming more and more
of a professional. Having the adult
education background mixed with the
business information and background, I
feel like I genuinely have the skill set
to work in recruiting; to onboard
employees appropriately; or being a
consultant, which is the field that I'm
about to go into. That's been really
helpful to me — being able to have my hand
in a bunch of different things, so that
you learn what you like.
