Wonderful experience! From the initial call, to going through the selection process to bring on an intern, to how amazing the Intern was – everything has been wonderful The only negative I can tell you, is, we had the best intern in the universe… And can only hope the next Intern is just as good!! The Acadiam program, is simple to navigate, they are very thorough in ensuring that you have all of the tools you need to bring on an intern that can assist your business. They follow up with you on a regular basis, and have weekly reviews that you and your intern provide.

I have completed an apprenticeship… I have completed an apprenticeship program with the Acadium successfully. The good thing about this program is that they are going to find you an experienced mentor to match with you in 3 days and you will have an interview with that mentor and then if everything goes well they teach you what ever you want to learn in any specific area and you can upgrade your skills and learn about the industry that you try to get into. And by the end you will receive a certificate of completion which is very good and you can add it to your resume.

The perfect platform for those who need their first chance Acadium provided a platform through which I connected with the perfect mentor relative to my personality and desires for an internship. I have the vision of becoming a social media manager and Acadium connected me with a company in which I could take the skills and knowledge that I have acquired and use them in a practical context. Acadium provided me with the break I needed to get the ball rolling in my career.

Predatory business practices We have been a non-stop subscriber since the company was called GenM many years ago. We had a couple of successful internships along with several more that were definitely more hassle than they were worth. The only predictable aspect was Acadium’s increasingly predatory business practices. Nowadays they will lock you in, steal credits you have already paid for if you cancel sub, and will change pricing structures at their whim. The final straw for us was a price increase from $147 to $499/quarter which we were not aware of and did not consent to. Within days of being charged we reached out to support and requested a refund (we had not used the service in over two years). The answer was a dismissive ‘no chance’ using a few more words. Avoid this company - they do not respect you and will screw you over sooner or later.

Wonderful Platform & Hands-On Experience The platform was very easy to navigate, and the placement process for interviewing with a mentor was really smooth. The hands-on experience I gained was amazing, and I'm really grateful to Acadium and my mentor for the wonderful experience.
