I don’t have complaints at all. If you’re ready to get serious about marketing this is the place to be. The accelerator program really helped connect me to fellow marketers and helped my marketing skills skyrocket. Within the past 2 months, I’ve learned more about marketing and made more connections than I had during my first year of going into marketing by myself. They help you make a clear plan of where you want to go and help you to stick with it. But don’t get it twisted it’s not a free ride there’s a lot work to be done...but unlike a typical college class every piece is valuable and designed to help you beef up your resume and portfolio. I’m very excited with what’s already happened with academia and Im looking forward to what it will bring in the future.

Life-changing. If You're Looking For Mentorship & To Level-Up Your Career...
The Acadium Accelerator program is the answer.
This program has forever changed my life for the better. I can't stress enough all the positive changes that have happened in my life because of this program.
Before the Accelerator program, I had over 3 years of digital marketing experience and had just recently left a position with a great company. I left because (such is life) I had outgrown the position and was no longer able to grow within the company to what I envisioned as my full potential.
Then came the launch of my freelancing and continued job hunt. The job search was intense and I felt discouraged. I felt alone, and most of all my self-esteem plummeted to an all-time low.
I found Acadium's Accelerator program and was super skeptical, but I figured "what have I got to lose?".
So after being interviewed and getting into the program, my journey to becoming a more well-rounded and CONFIDENT digital marketer began.
This journey has also been about me learning to love myself and learning to know my worth because I truly believe that has been just as critical in becoming the most confident in my skills.
Through the Acadium Accelerator program, I have found a community where we can all turn to one another in times of need and for support, fantastic mentorship from my professor, Erik, and from my apprenticeship mentor, valuable career advice, resume assistance and interviewing help from an Accelerator leader, Vik, and a tremendous wealth of knowledge and resources that has taken my existing digital marketing skills above and beyond.
**As digital marketers, part of our job is to never stop learning and always be testing.**
That is exactly what my mindset was and has been with this program. I have never stopped learning since day 1 of the program and continually test out different methods within my digital marketing work but also how I market myself for potential job opportunities.
Every piece of knowledge or advice gained within this program has been more valuable than gold, to me.
>>But you also get what you put into this program, so please keep that in mind when applying. I have put A LOT of work into this.<<
Therefore, your results vary on the effort and care you put into all of the classes, assignments, networking with your cohort, your apprenticeship performance, and how you take advantage of the valuable 1x1 mentorship with your professor.
I can gladly walk away from the program knowing that I got full value out of it because I am now a better version of myself than when I started the program, and that is priceless.
I surely did not expect to get this amount of confidence from this program.
But here I am, feeling like a **million-dollar brand**.
So in summary, if you're still on the fence about this, let me tell you what I gained for the Acadium Accelerator program once more:
*CONFIDENCE
*Self-worth
*I found my VOICE
*Relevant Industry Knowledge
*Valuable Mentorship
*Community
*Resources
*How to brand myself
*How to MINDFULLY and effectively Network
*Hands-on Experience
*Impact Statements
*Résumé Help
*Career Advice
*Interview Help
*CONFIDENCE,CONFIDENCE,CONFIDENCE

Mentors generous in sharing knowledge and experience
My apprenticeship was surprisingly rewarding as I went from almost-zero knowledge of digital marketing to a higher level of understanding and application, especially of social media and content marketing (and I still learned so much more). The mentorship I got from a successful entrepreneur was priceless - beyond the practical tasks/tools that honed skills I wanted to learn, and the shared resources I studied and later consulted with my mentor, she also gave me the confidence to believe I could be successful in areas of digital marketing. + Throughout the 3 months, Acadium's friendly team was always available for my queries and I was satisfied with the answers they gave. :)

Qualified digital marketing interns
Acadium provides qualified digital marketing interns! I have had the pleasure to work with an intern via the Acadium platform and can highly recommend the experience. My intern was very skilled and eager to learn more, and she supported me with social media content creation, proofreading and editing, background research and newsletter marketing. The experience with Acadium was smooth and there was always support available.

Great program, business model, and people
The apprenticeship program is good for marketers who want to gain experience or upgrade their skillsets, and good for businesses. The Accelerator program provides graduate-level instruction and professional career coaching by experienced and well-connected instructors that would be hard to find anywhere else. Those beginning a digital marketing career, like me, or those looking to go to the next level would benefit greatly from the instruction, contacts, and interaction with other participants on the active Slack community. There’s work involved, but it’s well worth it.
