For businesses
How much does it cost?
There are two memberships. Quarterly is $997 USD for 1 apprentice at 10 hours a week over 3 months (120 hours). Annual is $2,497 USD for 4 apprentices at 10 hours a week, each over 3 months (480 hours). Annual is our most flexible and popular option: start each apprenticeship whenever you like, even overlapping.
Where do apprentices come from and what is their background?
Apprentices come from around the world, with a large share in the US and Canada. You can request a preferred location. Acadium finds talent through LinkedIn, academic institutions, online forms and social media. They may be students, recent graduates or career changers who are passionate about marketing and serious about a career in the field.
What if the apprentice is not up to par or cannot finish the 3 months?
You can request a new match at any time. Contact us at any time through the contact form.
Can I hire my apprentice after the 3 months?
Yes. You can hire them full-time, part-time or on contract. Acadium charges no finder’s fees, which can run to a few thousand dollars elsewhere.
How much training do I need to provide?
Your apprentice works 10 hours a week for you and needs 1 to 2 hours of mentorship and guidance. As with any new team member, you provide direction, tasks and feedback. Apprentices are not marketing professionals, but they are eager to learn and can bring real value.
How does the matching process work?
First create a business profile. Then choose and pay for a membership (quarterly or annual). Finally fill out a request for an apprentice with the tasks, skills and location you want. Our matching team then hand-selects potential matches.
