K-12 Teacher to Corporate/Technical Trainer?
Filed Under (tech training) by admin
sanddune asked:

Hello,

I am curious if any former K-12 Teachers have switched careers from public teaching to corporate training/technical training. I am currently a high school computer/business education instructor with a plethora of technical expertise. Sadly, my school finds it of no use and only wants to target “No Child Left Behind” standards. What are some similarities and differences between the positions? Working conditions? Expectations? Are you earning more in your salary? Opportunites for growth? Any help on this would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Kevin

    its nice idea to change over to technical teaching, and salary is also more. but environment in corporate is totally different from public schools. some what difficult to adapt new situation.

    An isolationist it took me long time got masters degree and working well in schools but that when you have been in being team player following others decisions and working well in confidence any obvious transition people were really afraid was.
