Entry Level Instructional Designer Jobs: Frequently Asked Questions

How do I get an entry level instructional designer job?

Build a portfolio of two to four sample projects before you apply, even self-initiated or volunteer work counts. Employers at this level look for evidence you can write clear learning objectives, storyboard a module, and use at least one authoring tool like Articulate Storyline or Rise. Internship experience, a relevant degree in education or communications, and familiarity with ADDIE or SAM models all strengthen a junior candidacy.

At this level, hiring comes from a wide range of employers including large corporations building internal training programs, healthcare systems onboarding clinical staff, and government contractors developing compliance or technical training.

Are there remote entry level instructional designer jobs?

Yes, remote and hybrid options are common at this level. About 46% of entry level instructional designer openings are remote or hybrid as of August 2026, reflecting how broadly the role has shifted to distributed work.

Are these new grad instructional designer jobs?

Yes, the openings on this page include new grad, recent graduate, and junior instructional designer roles. A new-grad-friendly posting typically welcomes zero to two years of experience and treats internships, practicum work, or a well-built portfolio as qualifying credentials. If a listing does not require prior full-time employment and mentions training projects or coursework as acceptable, it fits the new grad profile.

Which industries hire the most entry level instructional designers?

Entry Level instructional designer roles concentrate in Education, Technology & Software, and Construction & Real Estate, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of August 2026.
