The goals for my studies with IDT Memphis are to:
Professional Goals: 1 year: After graduating, I would like to be working with a corporations/companies Instructional Design team. I plan on being a member of several ID communities/organizations. This should be useful in keeping up to date with new trends and best practices. 3-5 years: Within 3 to 5 years, I intend on being in a higher management position. This position may include being the supervisor over a team, or even a department. Also, if feasible/permitted, I would like to write about significant findings I might come across from my job. 10 years+: After having a plethora of experience, I plan on becoming a consultant. My primary goal is to open a small consulting firm; however, before opening this firm, I would like to write a book. Perhaps I might even enjoy teaching a few college courses (preferably online). |
