Learn how Gabi built her technical skills and landed a new instructional design job.
MEET GABIGabi’s story starts a few years ago when she was working as an Instructor Manager at a language center that offered corporate services. But after a few years, she started wanting more out of her career. This led Gabi to explore the greater world of instructional design and eLearning development.
Gabi started her upskilling process by learning from the free resources online. Eventually, she quit her full-time job and started working as a learning consultant, which allowed her to put into practice everything that she was learning, and the opportunities that came up were mostly in video creation.
While she was able to teach herself a ton about instructional design theory, Gabi quickly ran into a roadblock when she attempted to teach herself how to use Articulate Storyline.
During Gabi’s time in the program, she focused her time on learning the technical aspects of Articulate Storyline. Because she already had a strong foundation for instructional design theory from her self-study, along with a knack for multimedia development from her previous video production work, Gabi focused on applying those skills to eLearning development.
By the end of the program, Gabi took the visual storyboard she drafted and developed a complete branching scenario on empathy-building strategies for leaders.
Since finishing the program, Gabi has landed a new instructional design job for one of the largest, globally-recognized cosmetics companies. And her story shows how you can take an existing and strong foundation of skills and apply them in new and different ways.
