Are you currently in, or actively transitioning into, a Learning & Development, Talent Development, HR, OD, or Change role?* This field is required.This program is built for practitioners who are in or moving into People-function roles.

I'm transitioning into this type of role now
I'm exploring it but not yet in the role
No, my work is in a different area

How many years of experience do you have in L&D, Talent Development, HR, or a related People function?* This field is required.The Academy is designed for mid-to-senior practitioners and second-career leaders who bring depth from another discipline. If you're earlier in your career, we'd still love to hear from you, we'll recommend the right starting point for where you are, and there may be a better-fit program in our ecosystem for you right now.
Less than 2 years
2–5 years
5–10 years

Are you in a position to invest in your professional development? (Payment plans are available.)* This field is required.We ask because the Academy is a serious commitment, of your time, your energy, and your resources. If the investment isn't right for you at this stage, we have other ways to work together that might be a better fit. Selecting any option here will not disqualify your application.
Yes, I'm ready to invest
I'd need to secure budget approval from my organization
I'm not in a position to invest at this level right now
6
Can you commit to attending live sessions for 10 weeks starting Sept 16, 2026?* This field is required.The cohort experience only works when the room is committed. If this intake doesn't fit your schedule, we'll make sure you're first to know when the next one opens.
Yes, I can commit to the full 10 weeks
I'd miss 1–2 sessions but can make the rest
The timing doesn't work for this cohort. Notify me about the next one
7
What's the single biggest challenge you're facing in your role right now?* This field is required.Don't give us the polished version. Give us the real one, the thing you'd say to a peer over coffee, not the thing you'd put in a leadership update. We're asking because the Academy is built around real problems, not theoretical ones, and your answer helps us make sure the room is right for you.
8
What have you already tried to solve that problem, and what happened?* This field is required.Conferences, certifications, books, courses, coaching, sheer willpower, whatever it is, we want to know. Not to judge what you've done, but to understand what has and hasn't worked so we can be honest about whether the Academy addresses the gap those things left behind.
9
When you imagine being 12 months past this program, what has changed? What does "it worked" look like for you, in your role, your confidence, or your career?* This field is required.Be specific. "I want to be more strategic" is a starting point, but we want to know what that actually looks like in your day-to-day. Are you leading different conversations? Building something you couldn't build before? Showing up differently in the room? The more specific you are, the better we can assess whether this program delivers what you're actually after.
10
Is there anything else you want us to know about you, your situation, or what you're hoping to get from the Academy?This is your space. Use it however you want, context about your organization, your career path, what drew you to Talent Collective, a question you have, or something you need us to understand before we talk. No wrong answers here.
