Entry Level Curriculum Designer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions
How do I get an entry level curriculum designer job?
Employers hiring at this level look for a portfolio of sample learning materials, lesson plans, or training modules, even if they were built for a class project or volunteer work. Familiarity with instructional design principles, e-learning tools like Articulate or Canvas, and a degree in education, instructional design, or a related field gives candidates a clear edge. Internship or student teaching experience also carries real weight.
Which companies hire entry level curriculum designers?
Companies hiring entry level curriculum designers right now include IXL Learning, Dartmouth College, and Savvas Learning Company, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. Hiring at this level comes from a wide range of employers, including ed-tech companies, corporate training departments, nonprofits, and educational publishers actively building out their instructional teams.
Are there remote entry level curriculum designer jobs?
Yes, though availability varies by employer and industry. About 42% of entry level curriculum designer openings are remote or hybrid as of July 2026, making this one of the more flexible fields for candidates who prefer not to relocate for a first role. Ed-tech companies and corporate training teams tend to offer the most remote-friendly positions at this level.
Are these new grad curriculum designer jobs?
Yes, many of these openings are new grad and junior roles that explicitly welcome recent graduates, candidates with internship experience, or applicants who can demonstrate skills through a portfolio rather than years on the job. A new grad posting typically lists zero to two years of experience as sufficient, accepts practicum or student teaching in place of full-time history, and focuses on what you can create rather than where you have worked.
Which industries hire the most entry level curriculum designers?
Entry Level curriculum designer roles concentrate in Education, Technology & Software, and Healthcare & Medical Services, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of July 2026. These sectors drive hiring at this level because they rely on structured onboarding, compliance training, or product education, and they often bring in junior designers to build and iterate on that content under senior oversight.
