Learning And Development Jobs in New York: Frequently Asked Questions
How do you become a learning and development in New York?
New York does not require a state-issued license to work in learning and development, so entry begins with a relevant bachelor's degree in education, instructional design, organizational psychology, or human resources. Many New York employers expect candidates to hold or pursue the ATD Certified Professional in Talent Development credential. Building experience through corporate training coordination, HR generalist roles, or instructional design at a New York university, hospital, or financial firm is the most common path into the profession.
How much do learning and developments make in New York?
Learning and developments in New York earn a median of about $76,080 a year, based on May 2025 Bureau of Labor Statistics wage data, ranging from around $40,220 for the lowest 10% to over $133,620 for the top 10%. Pay rises with experience, specialty, and employer.
Which companies hire learning and developments in New York?
Employers hiring learning and developments in New York right now include Columbia University, New York University, and Yeshiva University, based on current listings on Migrate Mate as of June 2026. New York's density of large financial institutions, global media companies, and major health systems means consistent demand for professionals who can design and scale learning programs across complex organizations.
Which New York cities have the most learning and development jobs?
New York, Bronx, and Brooklyn have the most learning and development openings in New York. New York City dominates because of the sheer concentration of corporate headquarters, financial firms, and health networks based in Manhattan and the outer boroughs, while Albany draws roles tied to state government agencies and higher education, and Buffalo's growth in healthcare and regional banking supports steady hiring outside the city.
Are there remote learning and development jobs in New York?
Yes, and more than most fields. About 19% of learning and development openings tied to New York are remote or hybrid as of June 2026, reflecting how much of the work, such as curriculum design, e-learning production, and virtual facilitation, can be done without being on site. Roles focused on live in-person facilitation or new-hire onboarding at a specific location tend to require more regular office presence.
How can I get hired as a learning and development in New York with little or no experience?
The most realistic entry path is a training coordinator or HR assistant role, which many large New York employers use as a feeder into learning and development teams. Institutions such as New York-Presbyterian, the City University of New York, and large financial firms regularly hire coordinators who support facilitators before transitioning into design or delivery roles. Building a portfolio of sample training modules or completing the ATD Fundamentals of Instructional Design course signals readiness to hiring managers when formal experience is limited.
Where can I find and apply to learning and development jobs in New York?
