OUR MISSION
In establishing KR Learning & Development Community we would like to bring together (connect) the L&D fraternity. We want to create a place where you can learn, connect and share.
The KR Learning & Development Community aims to provide members with the opportunity to engage in the sharing of ideas, perspectives and experiences. Learning happens through deep discussions, reflection and collaboration.
OUR VISION
By enhancing the professional development of learning & development practitioners we contribute to unlocking the potential of individuals in organisations and developing skills in the country.
