Our Story

What is L&D Cares?

About Us

Brandon Carson created L&D Cares in April 2020 to provide support and caring for talent development professionals who experienced job disruption or loss due to the pandemic. He assembled a group of L&D industry professionals who collectively brought together coaches, job recruiters, counselors, mentors, and other professionals who freely offered resources to help our community members get back on their feet. As our community grew, we began providing mentoring programs to anyone in the talent development profession. All our services and resources are provided at no cost through the hard work of our volunteer community. In 2022, we became a registered nonprofit.
