We are all in this together, but we are not in the same boat. The pandemic has impacted training professionals in different ways, from complete loss of income to maintaining a position but with triple the work. 

To help our training community, we have curated our favorite resources and specials to address the most common situations we have heard about in conversations with you.

I Have Lost My Job
If you have lost your primary income source and also find yourself with some time on your hands, we recommend that you focus your time on retooling to emerge from the pandemic as the most valuable possible professional. 
Also, people are hiring!

I Am Working, but Making Less Income
Many training professionals are contractors and small business owners that earn their income one engagement at a time. For many of these individuals, they are working really hard to obtain new bookings, but right now, there is a gap in income.

I Am Working More Than Ever! 
Some of you are the last one standing in your training department. Some co-workers have been let go, and now all the work is on you. First, we are happy for you that you are maintaining your salary and benefits. Second, we hope you are taking time for yourself outside of work to de-stress.
