"From studying balance sheets and analyzing investor decks, to creating and presenting one of my own, ENTITY’s Business Collective hard skill curriculum helped me hone my technical finance abilities. The soft skill training not only empowered me to be a fearless leader, but also helped me become an intentional team player. I can confidently say that ENTITY created a space for me to speak up, learn from my mistakes, and build connections in a forgiving and relaxed environment. I feel so grateful to now be a part of the network that built me up to succeed in financial services.”

"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."

"ENTITY Academy is full of wonderful mentors and editors. I had the opportunity to talk with caring and encouraging people who have helped me feel more confident personally and professionally. Not only did they give me great constructive feedback on my writing, but they also encouraged me to keep writing. Even at school, I wasn't able to get the type of feedback I received at ENTITY. I also learned that mentorship is a two-way street. At times, you must seek it out in order to receive it. No one will know what you need unless you ask for it."

"I have made incredible friendships throughout this program. For me, home isn't a place. Home is made up of the people who inhabit the space. That being said, I have found my home with the people I met through ENTITY. It definitely won’t be an easy 'goodbye for now,’ but every step through this entire program was worth it. Through the ups and downs, we conquered the program, wrote our hearts out and became a family."

I am graduating this program as an all-around better woman, and I can't wait to see how far I go."

"As mentees, we had the amazing opportunity to work with ENTITY’s internal design team as well as with Adobe and other design industry leaders. These lessons taught us the basics of Adobe Creative Suite programs. I learned something new when Adobe representative Demian Borba spoke to us and showed us Adobe XD. I gained a working knowledge of ENTITY’s brand and design aesthetic. And as I went through ENTITY Academy’s design week, I gained something more than I expected: confidence."

"ENTITY Academy pushed me to my limits and proved to me that I am capable of so much more than I believe. I accomplished more than I thought I could in just several weeks. Forcing yourself to rise to a challenge is the best way to learn that you actually can do something, and it makes you more confident in yourself. That's what ENTITY does for their mentees."

"I absolutely loved the freedom and independence ENTITY Academy offered me. Not once did I feel like my voice or actions were being restricted. I always felt empowered to be my true self and that made me want to come to work every day. Plus, I don't know of any job that gives employees a day to work from the pool of a luxury apartment complex or invites them to a party where they can network as interns. ENTITY Academy was everything I dreamed of and more."

"ENTITY promised that by the end of the summer, I’d be a better writer. I took their word for it. Now, several weeks later, I’ve noticed that although I’ve certainly grown as a writer, I’ve built other core skills as well. Not only has my writing improved, I’ve also become more marketable in a competitive job market. Thanks to my experience, I can now confidently apply for editorial jobs because ENTITY has created a multi-functional, journalistic boss."

"ENTITY Academy is one of a kind. There aren't many internships that provide college students and new graduates the opportunity to learn a powerful combination of skills in just one program. I'm extremely grateful for the chance to have been a mentee. As a black woman barely getting her almost post-grad life together, I feel so much more prepared for what's to come, no matter what the future looks like."

"Although ENTITY has given me the opportunity to meet and take a class taught by an award-winning journalist, to watch a private show by the American Contemporary Ballet and to work in a fast-paced startup company launched by two incredible #WomenThatDo, it's given me something more valuable. My most memorable moments at ENTITY are colored with resounding laughter, genuine camaraderie and honest conversations about worries, experiences and aspirations."

"Wherever I end up after this phase of my career and life, I know I'll be prepared. Even if I head into another field with little experience, I've learned that it's ok to not know what you're doing at first. Figuring out how to do the best job you can do at work is just as satisfying as actually doing a good job. I feel like wherever I end up, I'll always look back on my time at ENTITY and say, 'I can handle this.'"

"If you would have asked me if I could write 11 articles in one day, my mouth probably would have dropped open and said 'No way.' ENTITY pushed me and now I am capable of so much more than I expected of myself. Being able to work on a vast amount of material has educated me on topics I wasn't familiar with and has ultimately bettered me as a person."

VIRTUAL ACADEMY TESTIMONIALS

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.

JOCELYN / VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2019

There were a lot of hard skills that I didn't know about in digital marketing that ENTITY Virtual Academy offered.

TAYLOR / VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2019

One thing I like about ENTITY Virtual Academy is that it keeps up with the trends and how digital media changes year to year.

REBECCA / VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2019

I would recommend ENTITY Virtual Academy because it teaches you different skillsets within marketing. People can become experts in subjects like SEO, Facebook Ads, and graphic design; and after the Academy, they can dive more into that and create a career out of it.

JULIAN / VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2019

I definitely would recommend ENTITY Virtual Academy because it's a great use of your time.

ANISKA / VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2019

I really enjoyed Virtual Academy... it was like an online college experience – I got a lot of different classes I hadn't taken in college. I definitely utilized that and took a lot of notes in the program. I learned how to structure an article. And going through the SEO training and how to put it into action, that was pretty interesting to me.

JANEE / VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2019

I really can't choose which class was my favorite. I enjoyed the whole Academy.

JULIAN / VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2019

As I was doing the program, I was working on a case for a scholarship. So basically, I used the skills I learned to apply for the scholarship ... I was a semi-final for the scholarship, and we had to develop a five-year growth plan for the new gap menswear athleisure brand.

TYLER / VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2019

I think the headline training was helpful; it helped me get into my creativity with my writing. It made my research less boring. Also, the brand building and deciding on fonts and building a mood board was helpful. And then there was one lecturer who taught us the “Positive 5 game” to talk about perseverance and perspective. That was helpful for helping me focus and push forward.

TYLER / VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2019

My meeting with my mentor Adrienne was always nice. I got to talk to her about once a week.

LAURA / VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2019

I will definitely use the skills to keep learning. I watched a lot of the speaker series and most of them were saying to ‘work hard’ and that nothing is ever handed to you. In this day and age, we have this instant gratification thing going on. I know I had it. But I learned that you have to really put in your time. That made me feel better knowing that people who made it are going through some things.

ANISKA / VIRTUAL ACADEMY 2019

“I'm applying for jobs and now I feel like I have more of the requirements for a writing position; with SEO and understanding social media marketing a bit more, I feel like [I'm] a stronger candidate.

TESTIMONIALS

I noticed improvement in my daughter’s overall personal presentation and professionalism. Working under tight deadlines and delivering quality work product was great real-world experience. In the bigger picture, I believe the ENTITY Mentorship Program was instrumental in building her self-confidence as a #womanthatdoes. The ENTITY Fellowship is an exceptional opportunity for young women to get a concentrated work experience as well as access to top mentors that will not only prepare them for their professional careers but also adult life. And for that, I am grateful that my daughter was able to participate.

SUSAN ROCKEFELLER’S DAUGHTER ATTENDED ENTITY ACADEMY 2017

The ENTITY Mentorship Program was an outstanding opportunity for my daughter. She was appreciated for the unique talents and voice that she offered while being encouraged and challenged on many levels. The support and training she received showed in the confidence in her writing.”

LISA HOYE / MOTHER OF KYLEIGH HOYE

One of the many things that really attracts me to the ENTITY’s curriculum is the chance for my daughter to create a professionally edited essay that will be published on ENTITY’s media platform, which reaches millions of women per month.

LEA PORTER / MOTHER AND YPO MENTOR

My daughter’s confidence grew tremendously this summer. She walked in nervous of what the summer would hold, but came out of the mentorship program as a #womanthatdoes. She learned new skills, met new people and was mentored by an incredible group of people who want her to succeed.

KAREN LOMELI / MOTHER OF STEPHANIE MEJIA

ENTITY not only provided Elena the opportunity to exercise and hone the skills she’s gained in media and communication through her schooling, but it gave her a relevant platform to benefit her as she moves forward. ENTITY has helped Elena grow professionally, culturally, and creatively.
