Day 12_MBA Journey_Career Week Day 2_Function x Industry x Geography

As days goes by with this Career Week, my passion toward future career is getting identified more and more as Learning & Development. As I have worked at consumer electronic industry as retail and sales management for the past 8 years, I began to realize that improvement and development of individual employee is directly correlated with sales revenue that my passion drawn toward more to maximizing of human potential to contribute profits of organization and community. 

There are challenges in order to pursue my career in L&D sector as I have no experiences specifically in HR sector. My career advisor, Jennifer Minturn, has given me great advise that I do not necessary need HR certifications in order to cover my experience, but rather Instructional Design and E-learning would certainly help pursuing L&D career. Now, I need work on good research to wisely spend my time during MBA period to earn these certifications.  

Instructional design is the creation of learning experiences and materials in a manner that results in the acquisition and application of knowledge and skills.

E-learning is learning conducted via electronic media, typically on the Internet.

ADDIE is an acronym for the five stages of a development process: : Analysis, Design, Development, Implementation, and Evaluation.
