Acadium: Courses, Internships

I think this app is hit or miss if you're not going to spend the time to carefully discuss with business owners and try to pick the right apprenticeship. However I think it's an incredible opportunity-builder if used the right way. It's important to also work on the training as well as find an apprenticeship and I would encourage people to complete some training before looking for an apprenticeship since your progress reflects on your profile and can help you get better opportunities. It's easy to skip through the training modules and just redo them until you get them right but I suggest paying attention if it's something you're new to because it's completely free training that will work even for beginners. This app opened a lot of doors for me.

GenM is great! The software is phenomenal. When I first signed up, I was contacted by 8 different mentors within 24 hours. They were so helpful in answering any questions that I asked which quickly got me over my initial skepticism. It sounds too good to be true but it really is a free program. There are tons of video courses that you can watch and learn as your finding your mentor. Once you find a mentor and start an apprenticeship you can find even more! So you don’t have to stick to one mentor, in fact it is encouraged that you find a couple. It is a 3 month period that you do work for the apprenticeship, so if you have 3 mentors which equals 3 apprenticeship; that would be 9 months of real world experience when you’re done! That’s insane. And here’s the kicker, you’re only required to provide mentors with 5-10 hrs of service each week! 🤯 GenM is a very huge leap in the world of online education. Not only do you learn the industry, but you gain real world experience while doing it.

I love this app! As a possible future Bachelors in Internet Marketing Major, this app has taught me so much valuable info about businesses, social media marketing, etc. The courses are engaging and fun to take, and I take them when I am on the subway or want to learn something interesting. Public school was difficult for me in terms of the style of learning, but this app is amazing for people who work well independently, in their own time, and have a thirst and passion for learning about how to make money and be your own boss in the future. Plus, the apprenticeship aspect of this app is amazing! I can’t wait to start my first three month apprenticeship with a company, learning about instagram marketing, PR, etc. This is more on track with how the public education system needs to be, and I believe that with all of me. Highly recommend you download this app, warning: it may change your life for the better!!! Tai
