- Congratulations on your recent graduation. The Training and Development career field is one where diverse backgrounds, experience and education are more often the norm then most career fields. First, I suggest you look at the American Society for Training and Development. It's the world's premiere organization for professionals in T&D. I would check out the local chapter of ASTD in Denver. As a member or even visitor, there are many benefits to getting involved. One, it's one stop shopping to a personal network of professionals already in the types of positions you are interested in. Two, they have monthly programs and workshops at a really low cost that will provide you the opportunity to learn and practice the skills of the trade. Three, many of their volunteer opportunities will assist you in fattening up your resume with targeted and relevant experience. Also, they have good relationships with employers in Denver and will help you with finding a job.
