In episode 49 of the Surveying the L&D Landscape podcast, I sit down with Jesmin Mejia to unpack her role as a training and development specialist.

• An effective system her team utilizes to receive, evaluate, and manage training and development requests
• How she helped train employees on the adoption of a new company-wide dashboard application
