Advancement Prospects
An experienced community nutrition educator with strong leadership abilities may be promoted to a supervisory position. Educators who pursue additional education may become program managers, who are responsible for overseeing their organization’s nutrition education program, hiring and managing staff, working with policy makers, and developing new programs or initiatives. Some educators choose to become high school health teachers or nutrition consultants, while others earn graduate degrees in order to be eligible to teach at the college level.
