I’ve always loved design and dance. At the Academy, I turned it into an app. Now it’s a startup, run with alumni.

The Academy is a safe place to fail. A place to try everything you’ve dreamed of. You’ll discover sides of yourself you never knew. Learn new things. Collaborate and see the world differently. That’s what makes it special.

I hesitated to apply too. There were conflicts and discomfort in a new place.

But every bit of it was what I needed. It was more than learning skills. I practiced defining problems and solving them. I teamed up with people from all walks of life. And I deeply reflected on my growth and career.

I don’t have much experience or a strong resume yet. 

Your desire to learn and grow is all you need. That drive alone makes you more than qualified.

Nine months feels like a long time.

It’s natural to feel that way. But these nine months aren’t just about time. They’re about learning, growing, and building something meaningful every single day with people who share your vision. Through challenges that last anywhere from 2 to 12 weeks, you’ll push forward together, and before you know it, you’ll be surprised at how quickly the time has passed—and how far you’ve come.

I’ve heard there are many diverse personalities at the Academy.

The Academy thrives on diversity. You’ll meet people who are lively and outgoing and others who are calm and focused, and every style has its place here. Innovation grows from this diversity, and it’s what makes the Academy special. Bring your own style and you’ll feel right at home.

I’m worried about my career after graduation.

The Academy is designed with your future in mind. Over nine months, you’ll build not only strong technical skills through real-world challenges but also the collaboration and leadership skills that are hard to develop on your own. You’ll work closely with mentors from tech, design, and business, as well as Learning and Development mentors who help shape your journey. With one-on-one guidance and group mentoring, you’ll be supported every step of the way as you prepare for what’s next in your career.
