What entry-level positions are there in this field that an undergraduate college student might consider?
Education technology is a huge industry with tons of ways to get in from the ground floor. If you're looking to be on the business side, there are many entry-level positions in sales and operations.
There are also internships available. We have interns who work on our curricular side, so there are many ways to get your foot in the door.
It just depends on which area you're most interested in exploring and what prerequisite experience is necessary. For my side of things, the curricular side, getting into teaching or tutoring students, or having that educational background would be a huge asset.
