What our analysts see this month

Competitive market | next 3-6 months

Philadelphia is still a real Education & Training market, not a dead one: metro unemployment was 4.1% in June 2026, education and health services employment reached 759.6 thousand and was up 2.1792% year over year, and we observed more than 2,000 postings across more than 350 companies over the last 90 days. But it is not an easy market. Revelio Public Labor Statistics shows Pennsylvania education & training postings down 11.3% year over year even as statewide education employment rose 1.1%, which usually means fewer fresh openings per applicant than a year ago. The best near-term odds are in on-site K-12, school-year staffing, higher-ed administration, and healthcare-linked education roles rather than remote-only instructional-design searches.

Best positioned: Candidates who can work on-site, already meet school or subject-matter requirements, and can show classroom management, lesson planning, curriculum execution, and student-assessment results have the best odds right now.

Main caution: Do not anchor on six-figure administrator pay; the broader posting market centers much lower, around about $56k to $71k, and most openings are entry or mid-level.

Where the demand is

Opportunity is spread across schools, universities, hospitals, and childcare rather than one dominant buyer. We observed more than 2,000 postings across more than 350 companies over the last 90 days, and hiring is fragmented across employers in the sample. The biggest named employers included University Of Pennsylvania School Of Medicine, Archdiocese of Philadelphia Schools, Upenn, Kreyco Inc., Rowan University, Jefferson Health, and Goddard School. Most activity still sits in education itself: about 75% of local postings were in education, with about 10% in healthcare and smaller shares in colleges and universities, hospital and health care, and sports and recreation. That matches current local signals showing school-year hiring at KIPP Philadelphia Public Schools, Independence Mission Schools, The Community of St. James, and independent schools such as Springside Chestnut Hill Academy and William Penn Charter School. For job seekers, the key is to search by employer type, not just title. School-year classroom staffing, higher-ed and medical-center instruction, and education administration are producing more realistic openings than remote-only instructional-design searches.

• K-12 and school-year staffing (high): This is the clearest near-term lane, with active signals from KIPP Philadelphia Public Schools, Independence Mission Schools, The Community of St. James, and the School District's restoration of 340 classroom-based jobs.
• Higher education and university administration (moderate): Universities remain meaningful buyers through employers such as University Of Pennsylvania School Of Medicine, Upenn, and Rowan University.
• Healthcare-linked education (moderate): This is smaller but real: about 10% of local category activity comes from healthcare, and Jefferson Health is one of the named active employers.
• Remote-only instructional design and corporate learning (limited): This is the hardest lane locally because about 95% of postings are on-site and less than 5% are remote, even though training and development specialists have a positive national outlook.

Where to focus: Prioritize on-site K-12 and higher-ed or admin roles first, then add healthcare education; treat remote-only instructional design as a secondary search.

Roles worth searching next

• School operations or central-office coordinator: Local hiring includes both central-office and school-based roles, so applicants with education context can sometimes bridge into operations, scheduling, compliance, or program support.
• Academic program coordinator: Universities and university-linked employers such as University Of Pennsylvania School Of Medicine, Upenn, and Rowan University are active in the local market.
• Healthcare program educator or onboarding coordinator: Healthcare represents about 10% of local category activity, and Jefferson Health is a named active employer, so education skills can transfer into staff onboarding, patient education, or clinical-program support.
• Customer education or enablement specialist: Training and development specialists are the closest official proxy for corporate learning roles in the available labor data, and the occupation has an 11% national growth outlook.

What postings ask for

• Classroom management (table_stakes | immediate): It is the most-requested hard skill in local postings at about 35%, so employers often treat it as the baseline proof that you can handle a room and keep instruction moving. Who: Entry-level teachers, substitutes, and career switchers moving into student-facing roles.
• Lesson planning and curriculum implementation (table_stakes | immediate): Local postings repeatedly ask for lesson planning and curriculum implementation, each appearing in about 15% of the sample. Who: Anyone applying to classroom, faculty, or school-year instructional roles.
• Student assessment (differentiator | immediate): Student assessment appears among the most-requested hard skills, which makes evidence of rubrics, progress monitoring, or intervention design more valuable than generic teaching language. Who: Teachers, coaches, and mid-career applicants who need stronger outcome evidence.
• Degree and subject-matter alignment (table_stakes | immediate): Among postings that state an education requirement, bachelor's degrees are most common at about 45%, with postgraduate degrees at about 15% and master's degrees at about 10%. Who: Career switchers and higher-ed applicants in particular.
• First aid (differentiator | near-term): It is the most frequently named certification in the local sample, especially relevant for early-childhood, youth, and safety-sensitive settings. Who: Entry-level, childcare, camp, enrichment, and youth-program candidates.
• AI-assisted content creation tools (differentiator | near-term): Teachers are using tools such as Brisk Teaching, Gemini, Google NotebookLM, Canva for Education, and MagicSchool AI, and 87% of L&D practitioners reported using AI in 2026, so basic AI-assisted content creation is moving from novelty to expected fluency. Who: Instructional designers, faculty support staff, trainers, and mid-career educators.

Questions about this market

What do Education & Training roles pay in Philadelphia-Camden-Wilmington, PA-NJ-DE-MD?

Government pay anchors and live-posting pay tell different parts of the story. For the broader Educational Instruction and Library group, the metro mean wage was $34.25/hour in May 2023. A much narrower local benchmark—education administrators, all other—showed a median annual wage of $151,640 in May 2025, with a 25th-to-75th percentile hourly band of $33.02 to $72.85. By contrast, recent posting-based pay in the metro centers on about $56k to $71k, with a broader 25th-to-75th band of about $47k to $93k, and hourly-paid postings center on about $18 to $21 / hour. That usually means the typical open role pays more like a teacher, support instructor, or program staff job than a senior administrator job. Pennsylvania's mean offered salary on new education & training openings was about $53,133 in July 2026, versus about $75,569 across all occupations statewide, so posted education pay is not consistently leading the broader market.
