About Us
WHO WE ARE
Better Learning, Bigger Impact
That’s not just our tagline—it’s our promise. Transcend Learning Consultants (TLC) is a Rhode Island-based learning and development consulting firm that transforms how organizations build capability, prove outcomes, and create lasting change through strategic learning infrastructure. As a 100% transgender and woman-owned social impact firm, we bring lived experience and equity-driven design to every engagement.
We don’t build generic training programs. We design learning systems that solve real operational problems—whether that’s automating credentialing compliance for healthcare organizations, building professionalism and audit readiness for cannabis companies, or creating mission-driven curricula that help nonprofits and government agencies prove impact to funders and policymakers.
Our clients span these core industries: cannabis companies, healthcare organizations, and government agencies and nonprofits. What unites them? They need learning solutions that do more than check boxes—they need workforce systems that strengthen retention, educational programs that prove community outcomes, and curriculum that creates competitive advantages in their markets.
OUR MISSION
Transcend Learning Consultants creates dynamic, accessible, and equity-driven learning experiences that help businesses, nonprofits, and government agencies educate, upskill, and empower their people. Through curriculum development, eLearning & AI implementation, learning strategy, and workforce training, we transform complex ideas into engaging, actionable learning solutions—driving inclusion, innovation, and lasting impact.
OUR VISION
We envision a future where learning is not just a tool, but a catalyst for meaningful change across industries. We create innovative, accessible, and equity-driven learning experiences that empower organizations to cultivate inclusive workplaces, develop talent, educate communities, and drive lasting social and economic impact.
By harnessing cutting-edge educational technologies, human-centered design, and transformative curriculum development, we reshape how organizations learn, grow, and lead—ensuring that knowledge isn’t just acquired but activated to build a more just, skilled, and sustainable world.
OUR METHODOLOGY
The Competitive E.D.G.E.™ Framework
Every engagement follows our proprietary Competitive E.D.G.E.™ Framework—a repeatable methodology that turns learning from a cost center into a strategic advantage:
- E – Evaluate: We assess your learning landscape, identifying where gaps create risk, inefficiency, or missed opportunity.
- D – Design: We architect learning systems tailored to your operational reality—credentialing frameworks, competency models, curriculum pathways, and impact measurement systems.
- G – Generate: We build the infrastructure—eLearning content, onboarding programs, compliance training, leadership development, and technology implementation.
- E – Evolve: We embed continuous improvement, measuring outcomes and refining systems so learning evolves with your organization.
MEET THE FOUNDER
Caley Logsdon
Caley Logsdon, M.A. (she/they) founded Transcend Learning Consultants to bridge a gap she saw across industries: organizations with critical learning needs but without the infrastructure, expertise, or systems to build training that actually works. With a Master’s degree in Leadership in Student Affairs—grounding her expertise in learning theory, adult development, and educational design—and a background spanning healthcare, cannabis, and social impact sectors, Caley brings both learning science expertise and operational experience that goes beyond theory.
As the former Director of Learning & Development at a Federally Qualified Health Center, she built workforce systems that navigated complex credentialing requirements, retention challenges, and compliance demands. As Director of Talent Development for a cannabis company, she designed leadership pipelines, compliance training programs, and competency frameworks for an industry scaling without established workforce standards—experiencing firsthand how rapid growth without formal training infrastructure creates leadership gaps, quality control issues, and regulatory risk.
Caley specializes in designing learning solutions that solve real problems: credentialing systems that prevent compliance exposure, onboarding programs that build retention from day one, competency frameworks that scale validation, and mission-driven curricula that prove outcomes to funders and policymakers. She also brings deep expertise in learning technology and emerging innovations, including artificial intelligence (AI), helping organizations leverage modern tools to streamline workforce development. As the founder of Transcend Learning Consultants, Caley is passionate about creating learning systems that are modern, equitable, and aligned with organizational goals—ensuring that organizations not only invest in learning but see real returns from it.
