Before ENTITY Academy, I had little to no experience with writing and couldn’t even tell you what WordPress was. Fast forward to a year later where I’m fluently using WordPress and SEO every single day for my internship.

B.A. in Strategic Communications / Spring 2021, University of Wisconsin - Madison, WNBA

"ENTITY Academy showed me a clear-cut example of "if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life." I was excited for every workday to come and looked forward to the challenges and assignments I was presented with. Everything from the working environment to the engaging speakers showed me that the office does not need to be a dreaded place if you do work you truly love.I learned so much here and have so much to take with me that will make me such an asset in the professional world. Learning opportunities are not limited to a classroom and I am so grateful that I learned as much as I did on this journey."

B.F.A in Acting / Spring 2020, Elon University

"ENTITY Academy mentorship has filled my network with successful actors, directors, writers, and more! Once I began to take advantage of the opportunities around me, I found myself making personal connections with people I'd normally never even have the chance to meet. Because I now have such incredible people in my network, I am even more motivated to stand out and show the world what I am capable of. I have been writing, acting and generating content left and right. I know I am going to leave here with a robust portfolio and a world of new knowledge. ENTITY Academy mentorship has rocked my world and my inbox. I now have incredible mentors in my network eager to help me succeed. I am thankful for the journey I have been on this summer."

ERIN M.

B.B.A. in Information Systems / Spring 2022, Loyola University Maryland
—
"I miss LA and ENTITY every day. I can’t even tell you how much the program has helped me since, even in my classes at school. Things like SEO and social media monetization are not lessons I would learn in a college classroom.

Not only does ENTITY Academy focus on hard skills, there's also a strong emphasis on confidence building and learning how to present yourself in a professional setting. It's so essential, especially as a woman, to be able to feel like I can walk into a room and command the attention of every single person."

RECEE M.

B.Ed in Early Childhood Education and Teaching / University of Georgia, Spring 2015

"Not only does ENTITY assign you an individual mentor, but the entire staff prides themselves on their willingness to help. They are approachable and encourage asking questions and seeking help when you need it. The ENTITY network is made up of CEOs, authors, humanitarians and journalists just to name a few. They each carry their unique stories with them and offer unique perspective and insight into being a woman in the workforce. However, I would be remiss if I didn't mention the network that forms from the mentees within the mentorship program. The possibilities are endless in a room full of women on a mission."

JULIA S.

B.A. in French Studies and English Creative Writing / Bucknell University, Spring 2020
—
"Before my ENTITY Academy mentorship, I considered myself to be a confident person. Now that I'm almost done with ENTITY, I recognize that it was naive for me to think that I couldn't get more confident. So how did I gain this new-found confidence? I built my resume, I reflected on my past achievements and my future goals, and I listened to success stories. The speaker series was a huge confidence booster for me because I was able to meet so many women who were successful in the past."

"ENTITY really marries the idea of having a work environment and a school environment at the same time. Entity Academy is uniquely dynamic. Every day...every hour, even, is different and new. The content of this complicated, overwhelming, and packed schedule is incredibly relevant, intensive, and priceless. There is absolutely nothing better than a program that gives you real practice. Experiencing a lecture-practice-review structure ensures not only understanding but mastery of the subject matter, even for someone like me who is brand new to digital writing."

ASHLEY R.

B.A. in English Creative Writing / California State University, Northridge, Spring 2019, Purlisse Beauty
—
"I now work at Purlisse and it’s such an awesome environment to work in. Because it’s a small company, you’re very connected with the people around you. Plus, Jennifer Yen always tells us that being part of Purlisse means being part of a team that is dedicated to growing together.

"Being promoted as a Marketing/Communications Coordinator is a step closer to my career goals, and I’m thankful that ENTITY taught me to work really hard. One thing that really stuck with me during my time at ENTITY Academy is when Jennifer Schwab said that the Executive Assistant role is one of the best ways to break into an industry. She was right. I’m really glad I took the assistant position because Purlisse is teaching me new skills that will benefit my career for years to come."

"I gained so much valuable experience in all of these positions but none of them provided me with any of the hard skills I needed to land a job writing.ENTITY Academy connected me with other writers and exposed me to diverse potential careers in writing. However, my time here also contributed to a list of hard skills I could show future employers — you know, to actually get the job."

VICTORIA B.

B.A. in Marketing/ Clemson University, Spring 2021
—
"As a digital marketer today, I understand the competition in the current job market. However, with the knowledge ENTITY has shared with me, I feel prepared and confident in my future career endeavors. I know that I can go into any interview with a solid resume, a well-written cover letter, and a strong portfolio. Now that I have learned these skills, I am eager to utilize them.

After only a four-week mentorship program, I acquired knowledge at ENTITY Academy that will prepare me for future careers, as well as confidence that will help get my foot in the door at various companies. My time at ENTITY has taught me that it's not about quantity, but quality. Although this was only four weeks long, I gathered a long list of skills to apply in several job applications and settings. Thank you, ENTITY for the best summer I could ever ask for!"

"I can't thank ENTITY Academy enough for helping me find my way in this scary post-grad world, and for making the transition between undergrad and grad school as painless and inspiring as possible! I plan to continue pursuing my passion for writing, to continue standing up for what I believe in and to continue valuing my voice and my ability to use it. Here at ENTITY, we are truly #WomenThatDo, and looking back on my first article about what I was looking forward to, I know that I experienced way more than I could have ever thought possible."

VIRTUAL ACADEMY TESTIMONIALS

The curriculum is a good balance of concepts, application, and practice. I've been able to learn the material quickly but the activities still pose enough of a challenge that they push me to really apply what I learned more directly.

VERENA L. / B.A. ENGLISH AND ASIAN STUDIES, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA SANTA BARBARA

DATA SCIENCE VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2020

I feel like I'm on the right path. It's challenging but in a great way. I'm learning a lot, even about myself. Plus, I love my instructor and my mentor; they are both very helpful, but firm, which keeps me on task. I love this journey!

PORTIA A. / B.A. ACCOUNTING, BETHEL UNIVERSITY ONLINE

DATA SCIENCE VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2020

I'm enjoying the curriculum because it is challenging enough for me to feel accomplished when I complete an assignment, but not too challenging for me to figure out on my own. I'm building on skills I haven't used in years and am learning new ones. I love it. Everyone is also so eager to help and stay connected.

SHARNETTE L. / B.S. BIOLOGY, GEORGE MASON UNIVERSITY

DATA SCIENCE VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2020

So far, it's a good learning challenge. I love the thrill of learning new information! Plus, my course mentor is great. ENTITY really chose a mentor with my likeness in mind.

DATA SCIENCE VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2020

The curriculum is challenging, but I like it. I tend to get bored, but this keeps me on my toes. I also love that the CEO wanted to do a Zoom call with us before the program started! I really appreciated that.

DATA SCIENCE VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2020

All of the courses in ENTITY Virtual Academy explained everything really well; I felt like I soaked everything up. I have tons of notes. The courses that were the most helpful were social media and SEO – they made so much sense.
