My experience at Acadium was great! I now currently work part-time via my first Acadium apprenticeship. However, my mentor plans to slowly transition me to a full-time job. Thanks a ton, Acadium! Will Highly recommend it to all digital marketers out there.

Acadium helped land me my dream job!
Acadium was great for me getting my foot in the door. They provide a wide variety of educational classes, allowing me to explore what career path would be best for me. Acadium pairs you up with a mentor that best fits your interests and career goals. I had a wonderful experience with my mentor and was put in an industry I loved learning about and loved working with all in the comfort of my own home. Before Acaidum I could not find a job after college. My lack of work experience in my field was weighing me down. However, with Acadium I was hired directly after my mentorship for freelance work and soon after found myself working full-time as a web developer. Acadium may be focused on digital marketing but the experience you get here really sets you up to go many different directions you may not have thought was possible.

Acadium is a convenient platform…
Acadium is a convenient platform bridging between mentors and apprentices. It also has some self-learn courses for gaining digital marketing knowledge.

Best Platform for new digital marketers
For people who are trying to switch careers (like me) or students who want to pursue a career in digital marketing, Acadium is the best platform to go. They found me a mentor and I started an apprenticeship within the first week of joining Acadium, and a second one ater that. If you have some experience/skills you can also work as a freelancer for different companies/people who are part of Acadium. Acadium also offers a premium (paid) version, where you get intensive one-on-one training by experts and they guarantee you a job. I haven't tried this paid feature yet, but based on my experience so for I believe it's the money.

Writing this review is long overdue
Writing this review is long overdue. It's taken me some time to write this because the marketing job I landed with the help of Acaidum, has been busy but has also been the best thing that has happened to me.
Within 3 months, I was able to shift from an administrative role and career into an email marketing position, that was clearly aligned with my goals to be remote and flexible.
The best thing about my Acadium Plus experience was and always will be the incredible amount of support you get from 1:1 mentorship with teachers like Erik and the Acadium community. I would not have been able to see the results I have, without them, and definitely would not be in the job I love so much today.
For anyone considering joining Acadium Plus, my advice would be to make the investment in yourself. You'll definitely end up better off than where you started, learning valuable marketing and job searching skills and meaningful connections along the way.

I love Acadium....but I wished they didn't make the changes they did.
Honestly, Acadium WAS perfect. Before they changed over to matching mentors for us mentees, it was great! We had the option of browsing and searching and selecting who we think would be a great match for us. Honestly, I went through 4. The first apprenticeship was highly successful and I now work part-time for them. My second had to be cut short due to personal reasons; and my third ended early. But I still received amazing learning opportunities with them, and have nothing but great things to say about them and their businesses. The 4th apprenticeship was very successful as well, and I now work part-time for this business as well.
I now work full-time, 40 hours a week, remote at home and doing what I LOVE! I never thought the day would come. I am constantly learning in my jobs, from CRM, social media strategies, to SEO writing and auditing. I even discovered that I love the research side of SEO things versus the writing.
The new matching strategy, unfortunately, I am not a fan of. My account was deactivated after I did not reach out to a "match." The match was nowhere near what I wanted, and 24 hours is too short of a time frame to respond.
I hope Acadium goes back to the way they originally did things. I recommended Acadium to many friends and want them to have the same wonderful experiences I had.

Acadium helped me discover a new path I never knew I loved
I found out about Acadium in April 2022 on some random TikTok video, I applied and got matched up with my mentor fairly quickly. I gained a lot of experience in my apprenticeship and learned a lot about Digital Marketing. Today, nearly one year after applying for Acadium, I am a media buyer and I'm working for the same agency that mentored me during my first apprenticeship. So if you're having second doubts, just know that you don't lose anything by trying out Acadium, it's free and you get to experience working with real marketing agencies and real clients. I'd recommend Acadium to anyone who wants to pursue a career in Digital Marketing.

Acadium is a great platform for Marketing Apprenticeships
A friend introduced Acadium to me after explaining what I stood to gain. At first, I applied for an Apprenticeship and could not get any mentor to take me on. I was almost giving up when a month later, I started getting many invitations to Interview with mentors. I completed 3 Apprenticeships, and Acadium is one of the most incredible things that happened to me in 2022.
I am currently taking Acadium's 'Social Media Course' so I can further harness my Content Marketing potential and become a Social Media Manager before the end of this year (2023).
I recommend anyone looking for an Internship to make good use of Acadium. Though free, you can land your dream job in no time. Thanks for the opportunity Acadium.
