As a newcomer in Canada, one of my goals was to level up my career through validating my knowledge and skills as a learning and development professional, establishing and strengthening my network in the industry, and filling my gaps. All of these I was able to accomplish within my first year with I4PL.Frances Hera Dela Cruz, member
My biggest value of the I4PL community is the valuable insights and information shared at webinars and workshops. It has helped me become more confident in my profession and bring new ideas and thought leadership to my work as an instructional designer and to my team.Kikelola Emechafor, member
