Abstract: 
This article explores the perspective of instructional designers on the digital transformation of corporate technical education and training. It draws on "episodic narrative interviews" conducted with the learning and development department of a for-profit company in the manufacturing sector to investigate their perceptions of digital transformation. We examine the working structures of the studied company, elaborate on their perceived challenges and needs, and highlight our position on future implications for corporate technical education and training. The case study improves the quality of practice within professional education by pointing out necessary considerations about communication, the instructional design process, job descriptions, digital learning products, and the target group's attitude towards digital teaching and learning. Our results support companies, learning and development departments, and everyone related to corporate technical education and training in developing concepts for professional education programs or contributing with further best practices.
