As Jerry said, belonging to ASTD would be a good suggestion. Another organization is the Society for Human Resource Management. To be frank, in my personal experience if I needed someone for training I would look to someone in my local network.Phyllishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09184706027679979998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4328141798222714287.post-46876189528074313932012-05-03T19:54:34.476-06:002012-05-03T19:54:34.476-06:00Thank guys...Sometimes I think I'm just in the...Thank guys...Sometimes I think I'm just in the "thinking outloud" phase in the blog. LOL<br />When I worked for Motorola I ran a training department so I'm pretty familiar with the contract training stuff from the hiring side. I also did some adjunct work with Texas State University. I hadn't thought about that, but it might be a good thought if I know where we're going to be. Or maybe a good start for a winter position someplace warm!<br />Lots to think about...Carol Kerrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12120710780618404080noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4328141798222714287.post-26583631106981729012012-05-03T05:15:21.205-06:002012-05-03T05:15:21.205-06:00Weird paragraph order.

We normally coordinated our work so that if anyone was out for any reason, our department could function as usual. On occasion, there where needs for contract trainers but they were normally supplied by product vendor.<br /><br />If you are interested in contract training work, then perhaps I would recommend contacting the local chapter of ASTD American Society for Training and Development. Thru them, you can network with other OD and training managers.<br /><br />If you need additional feedback on any of these ideas, please let me know. Feel free to contact me via or blog or on FB.<br /><br />Best wishes for success. <br /><br />Secondly, contact the local junior colleges. Most will have a group that specializes on business development and would love to have you on their staff as an adjunct. You should be able to set your terms. I contracted with Del MAr college in Corpus Christi for a 330 hour training program. They still call me today want to know when I was coming back to Corpus Christi.<br /><br />Betty aka Texas Yellow Rose can certainly give you details about her employer. Rolltop requires longer commitments than you may be will to do but it is a paying position. <br /><br />Howard/Lynda Payne from RV-Dreams-.com can tell you about other options related to campground consulting. I believe they have done that in their travels.Jerry / Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04640123141207525571noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4328141798222714287.post-56229525097030553532012-05-02T16:45:16.828-06:002012-05-02T16:45:16.828-06:00Maybe Texas Yellow Rose can help you out.
