Request for Informational Leads

[quaintance]

You may recall that recently, I've jumped into a career transition. For the last 7 years, I have worked as a K-12 science educator, primarily in the high school classroom. Prior to that, I was a graduate student of Biology, focusing on Ecology and Evolution, primarily in plant reproductive systems, and invasion biology. I'm now seeking advice on how I might found out more information about the following careers:
patent agent
industrial design
educational policy
corporate training
project management
Any information or connections to people working in these fields would be helpful.
