Hi, I am Mabel T Cline-Cole
Training and Blended Learning Consultant
I’m the training designer and consultant behind Blended Vocation, specialising in impactful foundational workplace training and learning materials.
I help organisations across sectors design onboarding, compliance, and career development programmes that set people up for success without the fluff and without taking them away from their work.
My approach enables organisations to deliver learning that fits around real work, engages people from day one, and improves performance where it matters most.
My purpose is to make a real difference to your business or organisation

Let me share a bit about my journey, it’s been quite an adventure.
I began by studying microbiology, fascinated by the hidden world of microbes. But everything changed when I took a few psychology and education electives. That’s when I discovered my true passion: education, learning and development. From that point on, my career took a completely different direction.
Since then, I’ve combined my scientific background with roles in public health education, international development and learning design. Over time, I realised that what truly motivated me was helping people grow in ways that reflect how they actually live and work.
One thing that made a lasting impact was having the flexibility to learn at different stages of my own career. That experience inspired me to create Blended Vocation, where flexibility is at the heart of everything I do — from how I design and deliver learning, to how I collaborate with others.
Whether I’m developing a strategy, co-creating content, or supporting implementation, I focus on practical, inclusive and tailored learning experiences that fit around real work rather than take people away from it.
With over 15 years of experience, launching Blended Vocation felt like a natural step. It’s more than a business; it’s the result of my journey and a way to share my commitment to flexible learning that truly fits.
I’m also proud to have built a career that balances my professional goals with being a parent — something that means a great deal to me.
I’m here to help. Let’s create learning that works for your people, your goals and your way of working.
