Preface
Welcome to the 3rd edition of Career Moves: Be Strategic About Your Future ! When we wrote the first edition in 2001, few books were available that spoke directly to professionals in the training and development field who sought career guidance on how to enter the field, identify opportunities within it, and move ahead. In 2006, when we wrote the 2nd edition, information that specifically addressed careers within training and development was still scarce. Today that situation hasn’t changed very much; however, the way T&D professionals go about their work continues to change as the workforce and workplace demands have transformed our roles significantly. All these changes require us to be savvier than ever about how to help organizations make important changes, how to help employees continue to contribute their best, and how to consider our own career development and job search strategies.
Therefore, this latest edition of Career Moves was written to keep people informed about the latest developments and updates in the training and development field. A revised ASTD Competency Model was published earlier this year that includes new ways of describing and defining the profession, and it offers guidance on the key competencies needed to succeed as a training and development professional today. This enhanced and revised edition of Career Moves is meant to capture these significant changes and provide information and tools enabling practical application to the shape and direction of one’s T&D career.
As the workplace itself continues to evolve at breathtaking speed, a review and discussion of the latest trends, issues, challenges, and opportunities that are a part of today’s (and tomorrow’s) work setting are critical, especially when determining how best to respond to the needs of workers who are constantly facing new demands to learn and improve their performance.
