Ideate Labs, headquartered in Manhattan, New York, offers a unique opportunity for budding UX professionals to launch their careers through its UX apprenticeship program. The program is designed to support new graduates and those looking to switch to a UX career with hands-on learning and mentorship. Each year, two apprentices are selected for the 4-month Live UX cohort conducted during the fall and spring seasons, allowing them to work on UX design and research processes tailored to their interests.
This apprenticeship is a no-cost program where participants gain mentorship and career coaching. The support does not end with the program; apprentices receive continued career coaching for up to three months afterwards. Alumni have successfully transitioned into high-paying roles, with salaries ranging between $85,000 and $150,000 in roles related to UX design, product design, UX research, and service design. A key focus of Ideate Labs is its commitment to supporting women, immigrants, and people of color in breaking into the tech industry and achieving six-figure jobs.
The program is open to both recent grads and individuals considering a career change, with a few requirements: a commitment to spending 5-10 hours weekly on program tasks, attending weekend lectures, an interest in UX fields such as research and design, and openness to feedback for improving design work.
Apprentices will gain hands-on experience in creating digital products from scratch, managing projects, conducting user research, and developing business models for their startup ideas. They will also receive training in building a unique design system and differentiating their solutions from competitors.
Interested candidates can apply online where they will receive UX tips and challenges. Selected candidates will go through an interview process before joining the cohort. Ideate Labs accepts applications on a rolling basis, emphasizing the importance of a curious and empathetic approach for prospective applicants.
