We are always looking for great content to publish and welcome contributions from learning and development (L&D) professionals. Your submissions help us reflect what’s trending in training and keep our community up to date with timely insights.

We publish in two formats:

1. Training Industry Magazine
2. Website articles on TrainingIndustry.com

Training Industry Magazine

Training Industry Magazine is our award-winning quarterly publication that connects L&D professionals with the resources and solutions they need to manage the business of learning. Our magazine editorial calendar is developed annually during our open submission period (May through July).

Website Articles

We accept website submissions year-round on topics relevant to corporate training and development professionals.

Articles should provide actionable insights, practical strategies and best practices that help L&D leaders drive results. Suggested topics include:

• Improving learner engagement and training outcomes
• Evaluating training effectiveness
• Employee skills development
• How to use and implement learning technologies
• Real-world case studies on L&D programs within companies
• Training for specific industries, job roles and experience levels
• Leading the training function (skills, responsibilities, etc.)

In addition to general submissions, we also publish the following ongoing series:

Career Pathways in L&D

How did you get into learning and development?

This article series shares the real stories behind learning leaders, including how they entered the field, pivotal career moments and lessons learned along the way. Each article concludes with practical advice for professionals navigating their own growth.

If your journey can inspire others, we encourage you to share it.

Dear L&D

“Dear L&D” is a letter-style series written directly to the L&D profession.

Articles reflect a pain point, blind spot or opportunity for change. These are not rants. They are thoughtful, experience-driven letters written with professionalism and optimism about the future of learning.

If there’s something you’ve been wanting to say to the industry, this is your opportunity.
