Get Hands-on Ux Training from Industry Experts with our Part-time Weekend Program
Have you been looking for ways to make the transition into the User Experience Design field? You are very interested but all job descriptions say 5+ years of experience… Well, if no one gives me a chance to start that 5+ year career, how can I even break into the industry? Sound familiar?
In addition to the good ol’ the chicken and the egg problem, most of us don’t have 3 years and/or $100,000+ to burn while not working.… Show more Besides, if you are like many people these days looking for practical training over learning history and theory, traditional classroom like college courses limit your options even further.
A quick search for “user experience” on indeed.com reveals over 5,000 jobs posted in the last 15 days in the United States alone. Simple math turns that into the staggering statistics of 10,000 new UX-related jobs being created every month .* With the median salary of $85,000**, it’s one of the most desired job categories these days.
