Disappointed from a Mentor's perspective. I found there to be a lack of accountability. I found the salesperson was dishonest about the nuts and bolts of the program. I was later told that the salespersons claims would constitute "a violation of labor law". Yet, no action was taken to right this. When I challenged the dishonesty (after signing up for a year subscription), I was told "thanks we will let the sales team know". No accountability. As a Mentor, you are not paying to get apprentice help. You are paying for the platform that allows you to be matched up to apprentices. This is what I was told by the owner. You don't get to choose your apprentice. The platform matches you. Every time the apprentice does not show up for the interview or fails to be a good fit, you start over. The matching process has taken up to 10 days. Add in the interview time, rescheduling, etc, and months go by without any service of value being provided. The most disappointing part was the dishonesty initially and the lack of accountability when I brought these issues up. I got the impression they did not care one bit about my concerns.

Acadium helped me to gain experience

I've just completed my first term with Acadium having an apprentice. Overall it has been a very positive experience. My apprentice was very intelligent and capable in social media marketing - exactly what I asked for. She was eager to learn whatever she could and exactly the type of person I'd hoped to work with. Initially I did have some issues with my first two interviews, a couple of no-shows, which delayed me getting started. Learning to be a good mentor does take time - there is a learning curve to go through there. Overall I find Acadium to be a fantastic way to get the help you need and to give someone else the help they need. I'm looking forward to working with my next apprentice.

An excellent company which provides amazing support for their members.

From our experience, 80% of the apprentices will not complete the job. It's also very annoying that they limit the apprentice slots, tasks, and other aspects of their website. So, you have to wait a few weeks to receive a rejection and start over as opposed to having several "positions" open and making more use of your time.

I joined the Acadium Plus Program back in September 2020 and it was a phenomenal experience! Erik Harbison was our mentor through the cohort and he truly cares about getting us hired and excelling in our digital marketing career during and even after the program was over. I ended up getting multiple job offers and accepted a media buyer role paying 50k/year 9 months after joining the Acadium Plus program. Another invaluable part of the program is having lifetime access to the Acadium Plus community for support and to be able to bounce ideas off of when needed. If your looking to jumpstart your digital marketing career then I would recommend the Acadium Plus program for anyone seeking a high touch mentorship with an expert and community that truly cares!

I had an amazing experience with Acadium. I learned a lot more about social media marketing.It is a great platform for learning.

Great platform, it gives you the chance to work on reel projects with mentors, and get you more employable than others, and it's only 10 hours a week for 90 days, AND free.
