IELLI launches new Education-Focused Career Narratives podcast
Education Focused career paths are relatively new and evolving trajectory within academia, distinct from traditional academic routes. These careers take diverse forms, with each of us carving out a unique path. From the scholarship of teaching and learning to service, leadership and outreach, this variety is a strength – but it can also make it challenging to navigate and define success within these roles.

The Education-Focused Career Narratives project is dedicated to celebrating education-focused careers. Through podcast interviews, we share stories and experiences that highlight the may forms these careers can take. By providing a platform to showcase our collective experiences, we aim to offer inspiration, insight, and a clearer sense of how to grow and thrive in these roles.
