About the Program:
Every year, Ideate Labs sponsors 2 UX apprentices to join our 4-Month Live UX cohort that takes place in the fall and spring seasons. Our UX apprentices join our cohort and 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 4-month program, as well as 1:1 UX career coaching support for up to 3 months after the program ends. Alumni UX apprentices go on to make between $85,000 -$150,000 in UX design, product design, UX research, or service design roles after they complete the program.
Ideate Labs is committed to helping women, immigrants and POC break into tech and land 6-figure UX jobs. We help you land 6-figure UX jobs or coach you till you get it.
