Answer:
While there are many different paths you can take in organizational development, you will need to put in time and work no matter the job. Universities do not offer bachelor's degrees in organizational development, but people working in the industry will need a bachelor's degree or above in a related field, such as behavioral science or business.
After completing a degree, you will need to start a job in a related field. Most people will not find jobs in organizational development without first having worked a job in a similar field, to learn about how organizations and management work. While at this job, learn as much as you can about the business skills that you will need to succeed in organizational development. Next, you will need to obtain a master's degree or a doctorate in organization development, as well as become certified. Lastly, it is extremely important to network. This will provide you with many professional connections that will help you both begin and continue your career.
