The KG Talent Development Grant is now available to assist current and past members requiring assistance with the cost of renewing their membership, and to assist non-members with joining ATD-LA. ATD-LA President Kavita Gupta has generously donated $2,500 to fund this grant. ATD-LA relies on a strong active membership and is proud to provide the benefits associated with a worldwide talent development organization.
To be eligible for this grant, applicants must be seeking individual membership as stated under “Membership” on www.atdla.org. Applicants whose employers fund their ATD-LA membership or membership renewal are not eligible.
In addition, applicants must meet one of the following criteria:
- Be a current member of ATD-LA whose membership is up for renewal in 2021 and have experienced a job loss or are going through a job transition.
- Be a past member of ATD-LA, whose membership expired between April 1, 2020, and today and have experienced a job loss or are going through a job transition.
- Be a full time student currently enrolled in a certified graduate program in one of the following disciplines: Human Resources, Training, Talent Development and Instructional Design.
- Be a new member interested in joining ATD-LA but are currently experiencing a job loss or going through a job transition.
Should you meet one of the above criteria, you will be eligible to receive a KG Talent Development Grant to solely cover your ATD-LA membership fee. Please write to office@atdla.org if you are interested in receiving a complimentary one-year membership with ATD-LA.
