    Episode 28 - Last Episode: Transitioned - Tyler - Former Teacher to Manager, Digital Learning

    In this final episode,  I am joined by Tyler (www.tylerbanh.com), a genuine and humble expert in learning and development. He has supported numerous teachers in transitioning out of education and into their desired career paths. I had the pleasure of interviewing him (mid 2022) and in this episode, he shares his valuable insights on the necessary skills, what to include in a portfolio, your resume, and how to prepare for interviews.  It's a must-listen for anyone considering a career change.  Thank you all for joining me on this journey.  I have exciting plans to further assist teachers and anyone seeking to transition, so stay tuned for more updates!
