Happy for you. I can’t lie — this is the first year since my first that I’ve been seriously considering whether I need to find a non/teaching job for a couple of years
"Hello babies. Welcome to Earth. It's hot in the summer and cold in the winter. It's round and wet and crowded. On the outside, babies, you've got a hundred years here. There's only one rule that I know of, babies-"God damn it, you've got to be kind.”
This is wonderful news! I am so happy for you. Sounds like a great fit!
I work in (HR) training and it's mostly a good gig. I think you get a lot of the rewards of teaching without a lot of the BS. I am sure you will be glad you made the switch.

I totally understand. Although I've been wanting to transition out for awhile, SO many of my coworkers have stated this year that they are wanting to get out as well. Pretty much every coworker I told about my leaving today said essentially "Take me with you! I want to get out."
I can comment on moving into roles like this because we have them at my work (manufacturing plant).
-Ability to speak other languages than English is a huge plus -some willingness to flex to other shifts if needed (we run training on all 3 shifts). Usually there is a trainer permanently on each shift, but if that person is out for more than a couple days, the training manager has to flex. -experience teaching adults groups with limited reading skills and/or don't speak English. -Curriculum development experience -People management experience and really good people skills- you have to work with all the other leaders on project and resource prioritization -realylly care about people and their employment experience -familiarity or experience with manufacturing is a bonus. You don't have to know a lot but you need to be ok with that work environment and doing things like teaching using headsets on a loud manufacturing floor, and wearing PPE like steel toes, hard hat, safety glasses, etc, and teaching people how to not get hurt at work.
That is specific to manufacturing obviously but it pays well and there is always a lot of need. Our trainers have historically only spoken English and now we really need them to speak another language as well (don't have to be fluent, but be able to communicate).
I wouldn’t even know what a job like this would be titled to even search!
I’m not ready to leave education, but this year last year has really pushed my boundaries.

I work at the headquarters of a retailer and that similar job is called Learning & Development specialist.
