How Instructional Design Is Operationalized in Various Industries for job-Seeking Learning Designers: Engaging the Talent Development Capability Model | SpringerLink
Research comparing job listings to the ATD capability model.
Using the preferred reporting items for systematic reviews and meta-analyses (PRISMA) organizational framework as our method of reviewing job postings, we found that instructional design, talent delivery and facilitation, technology application, communication, and collaboration and leadership capabilities appeared the most frequently.
For corporate settings, more jobs than expected require bachelor’s degrees and fewer jobs than expected require a master’s degree or higher. On the contrary, for higher education settings, more jobs than expected required master’s degrees or higher and fewer jobs than expected required bachelor’s degrees. While this may not be surprising to some job seekers, it does indicate that job applicants with bachelor’s degrees already possess the educational requirements for a corporate role.

Can You Accept Volunteer Labor? - HR Daily Advisor
Can You Accept Volunteer Labor? - HR Daily Advisor

Volunteering can be a great way to get some experience when you're first getting started in a field. However, you should volunteer for a nonprofit. You can't volunteer for a for-profit company.

Asking a company if you can do free work for them tells that company that you believe they will violate federal law to take advantage of you. You're not doing them a favor. You're asking them to do an enormous amount of work by having an attorney help them create an unpaid internship program just for you.

Most for-profit organizations cannot accept volunteer, unpaid labor without running afoul of the FLSA.
Even interns must be paid in most circumstances—if they’re performing tasks that benefit the employer (as opposed to just learning and observing), they’re completing work that is entitled to pay. This is true even if the intern <em>offers</em> his or her services for free just to get started with the organization.

There are no general regulations that permit volunteering of services to an employer in the private sector. All hours worked must be paid.
