Apprentices take our program for free and receive 1:1 mentorship throughout the 7-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 -$130,000 in UX design, product design, UX research, or service design roles after they complete the program.
