Fashion Design to UX Design Career Changer

About the Program: Every year, we sponsor 2 remote UX apprentices from anywhere in the world to join us for 7 months, either in the fall or spring seasons or online. Our UX apprentices work through the end-to-end UX design and UX research process for a startup idea of their choice that will help them attract hiring managers in that topic space or industry. Apprentices take our program for free and receive 1:1 mentorship throughout the 7-month program. Alumni UX apprentices go on to make between $85,000 -$130,000 in UX design, product design, UX research, or service design roles after they complete the program. We are committed to helping women, immigrants, POC, and LGBTQ folks break into tech and land 6-figure UX jobs. We help you land 6-figure UX jobs or coach you till you get it.
