Advising

Free, localized,
impact-driven career advising

At Academy for Human-Centered Technology, our students choose a focus, make real connections, and find work that makes a difference. Tell us a little about yourself and an advisor will follow up.

What We Offer

Choose a focus

Decide between Creative & Communications, Business & Growth, or Technology & Systems — based on your talents, not guesswork.

Make connections

Warm intros to partners across the Brand Evangelist ecosystem, which includes our network and industry affiliations, plus mentorship from impactful professionals.

Find meaningful work

Job placement support for students and talent matchmaking for partners — tech startups, nonprofits, social enterprises, creative agencies + more.

Who we advise

Career changers, students, recent graduates, working or underemployed professionals, and anyone curious about a future-ready path. You don't need a technical background — just curiosity and a willingness to do the work.

Our advising is free and there's no obligation to enroll. Some people we talk to do choose a different path, and that's fine. We'd rather you find the right fit than the easy one.

How It Works

01

Apply

Fill in our brief application form. Tell us your current thoughts on career and desired training pathway so we can work out how to help best.

02

Prepare

After 5 business days to review your application for advising, we'll send you a link to book your call and ask for some extra information to prepare for the call.

03

Have a one-on-one call

You'll have a video call to talk through your career goals and talents with one of our advisors and get your questions answered.

04

Stay in touch

In some cases, the same advisor may opt to stay in touch with you throughout your course if they can continue supporting your career, or recommend a new advisor.

Apply for advising

Fill out the form and an advisor will follow up within 5 business days. Free, no obligation, no sales pressure.
