Training Salaries on the Rise

Training Salaries on the Rise

According to the 2012 EAA National Wage & Salary Survey, salaries for training professionals rose from 2011. In particular, the median salary for Training Specialist I showed the highest increase of 8% from 2011 when compared with other training jobs surveyed. Similarly, the median salary for Training Managers saw an above average increase of 5%.

The data reported in this survey seems consistent with other salary trends reported by the American Society of Training & Development (ASTD) indicating that compensation for training, learning, and development professionals’ exceeds the average U.S. income of $46,000 and that the majority of learning and development professionals received a pay raise within the past year.

These trends could suggest increasing demand for training and development professionals nationwide as organizations  continue to expand their training practices and enhance their learning and development activities.
