Welcome

To make access to knowledge easier through dialogue, Professionals Talk Shop™ (PTS) is a knowledge exchange forum where industry experts across all professional fields bank experience and skills for the benefit of novices and peers alike.

To transform how we learn in context. PTS is the place to go for novices, career changers or practitioners seeking accessible knowledge or solutions to problems from established professional experts within and across industry.

PTS is a professional social learning network that develops relationships  as emergent phenomena from a knowledge sharing community. Due to their immediate relevancy, PTS would like to initiate this dialogue with the following professions: journalists, historians and data scientists.  The rest will follow soon....

PTS is a portal of industry professionals generating networked communities of practice in which problems are the roots of the learning and solutions are the opportunities we generate. 

PTS is the place where producers and consumers of knowledge meet to deposit and withdraw that knowledge from the PTS knowledge bank. 

PTS is an industry forum where established professionals prosper by sharing and tagging their #professional_skills. We make it easy to mentor  the next generation (novices) using the #reflective_perspective of this generation (professionals).  

How do we level the playing field in education? How can we bridge industry and education? When will these services be available? How do I  get a mentor? Are there any standards for mentoring? Is it free? How does it work? 

These are all good questions that will be answered in time. We are building solutions with you, the users. You can help now by taking a survey, so that PTS can build with you in mind.
