GBGrossly 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.

CAThanks a lot Team Acadium! I was a recent graduate of Digital Marketing from U of T and lacked experience in professional settings. I learned a lot through the apprenticeship experience from Acadium. My mentor Zed was an amazing coach. I gained the skill set to help me apply for a full-time job and polished my professional and interpersonal skills to a level that I feel comfortable enough to go through a job interview with confidence. the Acadium team members were amazingly supportive throughout my apprenticeship experience. Thanks a lot! Team Acadium.

GBWonderful 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.

CAAcadium matched me up with a great… Acadium matched me up with a great mentor. I admit, I was lucky to have hit it with Tammy (GoToYellow) right away when we first met. Tammy listened to my needs, and gave me the tools and access to help develop my skills while helping her business. Overtime, we became close and I often look forward to our chats. We both have busy schedules so it was hard to meet at times, but we made it work. My apprenticeship actually extended beyond the 3 month contract and I still work with her today because she is so lovely and we are accommodating to each other's needs and schedule. Thanks Acadium for bringing us together!

GBThank you, Acadium! Acadium is truly looking out for their trainees. They keep checking in with you to make sure everything is going as it should. Apart from the mentor you work with during your traineeship, you get a personal advisor. This way, you don't feel like you are on your own should anything go wrong. You get the feeling that you are a part of a team. An amazing team, that is. They vet the trainees, as well as the mentors, making sure that people who join have a genuine motivation to be a part of it. As of the mentors and traineeships, I can only say great things. I had one traineeship so far and it was an incredibly enriching experience. What everyone says in the reviews is true: you get out of the traineeship what you put into it. If you are motivated and willing to put in time and effort, you will have an extremely rewarding experience. If you wonder whether you should or shouldn't join Acadium, I can warmly recommend that you do. For me, it was a true revelation in 2023 and the best decision I made was to join. I keep being grateful for their hard work and dedication to build this community and help the best way that they can. So, thank you, Acadium!
