WHAT DRIVES PAY FOR LEARNING PROFESIONAL
An ASTD member demographics survey of more than 2,800 trainers at all levels shows that certain clear factors affect earning power in the learning profession.
The data shows that education level, years of experience, and geography affect earning power in the workplace learning and performance (WLP) profession. The data paints a picture of a profession where there is the opportunity to increase earning potential by taking certain steps: obtaining an advanced degree, working in particular industries, and moving from training design and delivery roles into managerial and executive positions. While this could be true for many professions, the opportunity to work toward corporate-level positions in training is greater now that learning plays a clear role in driving organizational strategy and success. The knowledge economy has given a boost to training jobs.
The future is bright for the learning profession. As business leaders recognize how learning contributes to organizational success, training professionals have even more opportunities to demonstrate their value and the expertise they bring to the table.
As learning professionals move forward in their careers, the key is to continually develop skills and knowledge to be relevant in the organization and in the learning field.
