Leaving the Classroom is a step-by-step guide for teachers who are ready to move into corporate training and learning & development - without starting over from scratch. Written specifically for educators, this book shows you how to translate the skills you already have into a resume, LinkedIn profile, and interview story that corporate hiring managers immediately recognize.
Inside, you'll find:
