specialists to represent the business in

engaging the workforce and stakeholders in

best practice and negotiating with staff and

employee groups.

entry-level roles.

LEARING & DEVELOPMENTPROFESSIONALSYOU’RE IN DEMAND

Learning and Development is a fast growing

area but the reasons behind hiring increases

differ from one sector to another.

For example, in the Oil & Gas sector, L&D is

needed to train staff on meeting compliance

requirements.

In other sectors L&D programs are part of

change management programs.
