A New Direction

Starting this blog again with a fresh new look and a different direction. I decided to leave the old posts up because they remind me of my journey in life till this point in time and the various projects I have taken on and been successful with.

My new goal and direction in life is to become a Learning Designer and Developer. After spending the last year and 8 months on getting a degree in Career and Technical training, I have come to realize that I have a passion for creating and providing quality education and training to adults.
Where this passion came from is a mixture of factors, but mostly from having experienced really good training from an employer before starting my job, and then having received no training from an employer before being put on a public services desk (not kidding on this one).

Receiving bad or no training, is more common than I had thought. Sometimes receiving bad on the job training is worse than having had no training at all, as it sets people up to develop bad habits which are hard to break. My goal is to learn how to design accessible and research based learning material, and bring attention to the need for employers to invest in their people and to give their employees all the tools they need to be successful in their job roles.

Lofty goal perhaps, but you have to aim high if you want to make a difference.
