A Collective Rooted in Practice & Community
The West Coast Learning Collective (WCLC) is a community for professionals working across learning, talent, and workforce development. We exist to bring practitioners together, across industries, career stages, and roles, to learn from one another, exchange ideas, and stay connected to the evolving world of workplace learning.
WCLC doesn’t replace professional associations. It adds a different kind of space that is grounded in peer connection, shared experience, and practical insight.
Why the Collective Matters
At its core, WCLC is about learning with–and from–each other—because professional growth doesn’t happen in isolation. It unfolds through shared stories, thoughtful dialogue, and learning alongside others who understand the work. WCLC was created to:
Foster connection among learning, talent, & workforce development professionals.
Create accessible opportunities for development and engagement.
Support practitioners as they grow, pivot, and lead in their careers.
Build community beyond conferences and credentials.
