Enabling Capability Through Learning, Research
and Connection
Dear Learners,
As we settle into a new financial year, I wanted to share a few of the projects and initiatives currently underway across AITD.
One area of focus has been continuing to build out the resources connected to the AITD Capability Framework. Over recent months, we've strengthened the links between the Framework and our courses, webinars and other learning opportunities to make it easier for members to identify development options aligned to professional goals. The introduction of our new Strategic Partnering & Influencing course is one outcome of that work, with further development currently underway in Evaluation and Impact.
Many members are also taking advantage of our growing library of webinar recordings and professional development resources, providing the opportunity to revisit key topics and explore new ideas at a time that suits them.
AITD is further undertaking research into L&D career pathways to better understand how people enter the profession, build capability and progress throughout their careers. We look forward to sharing more about that work in the months ahead.
Members will shortly receive the next edition of Training & Development magazine, Reskilling for a Changing World, exploring how organisations and individuals are responding to changing skill requirements and what this means for the future of learning and development.
And looking ahead, registrations for the 2027 AITD National Conference at Hotel Realm Canberra, from 28-30 April 2027, will be opening soon. Planning is already underway and we're looking forward to sharing more about the program over the coming months.
This year will also see the introduction of new categories in the annual AITD Excellence Awards, creating additional opportunities to recognise achievement, innovation and impact across the profession.
There is plenty happening across the Institute, and we look forward to keeping you updated as these projects continue to develop.
