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.

Grossly Unqualified Interns I joined Acadium three months ago. I have had three separate interns during that time. The first had no idea what they were doing. The next two quit unexpectedly in the second week after I had done all the front-end onboarding work (I did it with each intern, probably 20hours of my time total). None of them were able to perform even basic social media marketing, even after several hours of one-on-one mentoring. In the end, Acadium has my money (no refund policy) and I spent too many hours with clearly unqualified interns and absolutely zero help with my business. I don't know where they find the interns, but clearly they are not very discerning. I will also say their sales team is high pressure, the kind where I'll talk to my manager price but you have to sign up today - I can't believe I fell for it. Could not recommend them less.

Great way to find support & give back I’ve had 2 great apprentices through Acadium and one not so great. The not so great match was my second one. It was obvious within a week it wasn’t going to work. Acadium stayed in touch to see how things were going and were quick to find a replacement. They also ensured that my 3 month period started again so I didn’t miss out on time. One downside is the auto renew. You need to make sure you cancel it well in advance, which is fine as your existing apprenticeship continues until ot ends anyway.

I never knew my story writing gift can… I never knew my story writing gift can be deployed in marketing until I encountered Acadium platform and their mentors. I saw the business value of my artistic talent. I was matched with the right persons that can help deploy my skills appropriately. I am fired up to vigorously pursue a career in digital marketing, CRM and PR. The fact that I do not have a degree in any of these areas does not deter me. Acadium gave me this confidence.

A great experience! I am just blessed to have had the chance to be an apprentice through Acadium. This journey has completely changed my situation, as I completed the apprenticeship with PokitPal. Currently, I am working for that company as a Marketing Associate. You can imagine how great my experience with PokitPal was. Throughout my apprentice journey, Acadium's support team was always there for me. Acadium is the best place to start your journey if you are in Digital Marketing. Again, thank you so much to the entire Acadium team for helping me in this way.
