What they’re saying…”I joined ASTD in 2005 and found out about the job postings on the Piedmont ASTD Chapter website while at one of the breakfast meetings. As soon as I returned to work I went to the website and found the listing for a trainer at Campus Partners. I submitted my resume via the e-mail address linked on the site that day and was contacted immediately. I LOVE my new job as Manager of Training and Curriculum. Thank you ASTD for offering such a valuable service!”
