We have decided to sunset our Dream Projects Career Coaching service until we can properly devote our time and attention to this space. We feel passionate about helping young designers achieve their dreams and know that building a great portfolio is the first step. However, it requires a lot of time and attention to each individual and for that we strongly recommend a good career coach.

If you are interested in 1:1 career coaching there are many specialist that can help you one on one. However, if you would like a thoughtful review of your candidacy and some feedback about your resume, portfolio and presentation skills please apply to roles at https://www.academyux.com/careers.
