What entry-level positions in this field might an undergraduate college student consider?
For entry-level positions in edtech, sales is a good option for recent graduates. If you're looking for something more specialized, a school success coach role is a great entry-level position.
This role is more hands-on than an account manager. You would conduct site visits and report to a manager. For example, if a school struggles in a certain area, you would visit face-to-face or check in with teachers.
Coaching or sales positions are likely the best ways to get started in edtech. It's important to be genuinely interested in schools or education. Without passion, you won't enjoy the work.
