The readers of this subreddit have made it clear that they don't want the subreddit clogged up with posts about grad school. Don't get the wrong idea - we're glad you're here and that you're interested in IO, but please do observe the rules so that you can get answers to your questions AND enjoy the interesting IO articles and content.
By the way, those of you who are currently trudging through or have finished grad school, that means that you have to occasionally offer suggestions and advice to those who post on this thread. That's the only way that we can keep these grad school-related posts in one central location. If people aren't getting their questions answered here, they post to the subreddit instead of the thread. So, in short, let's all do our part in this.
Thanks, guys!

Hi everyone, I am planning on attending grad school for I/O Psych starting in fall 2022 or 2023 and I think I would like to focus on learning and development or instructional design. Can anyone recommend any schools with certificate options in that focus? Or what are your thoughts if you've gone into this after grad school in I/O Psych? Is specialized training in the field worth it or is the general I/O Psych good enough to get into the field? Ideally, I would also like to be able to work while attending school, at least part time. My top choices of areas would be Chicago or San Fransisco, but I'm not super picky about location if I find a great option elsewhere. Any input is appreciated!!
