Ideate Labs Gives Boost to Aspiring Career-Changers With Exclusive 4-Month ‘MBA’ UX Design Course
NARBERTH, Pa., January 18, 2024 (Newswire.com) - Ideate Labs, a leader in online UI/UX design courses and mentorships, is proud to offer women, minorities, and POC the education and insight they need to open up doors in the in-demand field of digital design. To ensure everyone gets the right level of support, Ideate Labs is offering a four-month-long MBA-inspired UX design course that helps students unleash their potential in the most impactful way possible.
Ideate Lab’s exclusive four-month course is personalized to the needs of each student, with features that include a one-on-one mentorship with an established UX design pro and intimate classes that can be done part-time and at a student’s own pace.
Unlike many similar courses online, Ideate Lab’s UX design course isn’t intended to be a one-size-fits-all learning experience. Instead, the four-month masterclass is geared toward individuals who are disenfranchised in the field or are struggling to get their foot in the door, in particular women and those who don’t have the budget or time to devote to other intensive UX design courses.
The Ideate Labs “MBA” course is 2-3x less expensive than comparable courses and does not require a full-time commitment from students. Enrollees get personalized, hour-long design therapy sessions every week with an assigned mentor, as well as interactive lectures, peer-led discussion groups, and weekly design critiques. Also included is lifelong access to the Ideate Labs community, which includes group career coaching and alumni support.
Rather than pack a ton of information into a short period of time, the four-month UX design course lets students take their time mastering digital design and building their portfolio and resume. Students are encouraged to do about five to 10 hours of active study time per week, which allows time for part- or full-time jobs and family responsibilities. Supplemental features like custom three-month career blueprints ensure that everyone has a clear path that they can follow to a six-figure job upon graduation.
So what’s the end goal? Aside from a high-paying job in UI or UX design (Ideate Labs graduates increase their salaries by 1.8x on average), Ideate Labs is dedicated to helping all students achieve great things in their careers and offers a curriculum that prepares individuals for senior and management-level UX jobs. Among Ideate Labs graduates are current leaders in UX research and UX design across Reddit, PNC, Capital One, BYN Mellon, CVS, Truist, Keller Williams, GE Aviation, and more. With the right team and project management, there's no limit to how far students can take their Ideate Labs education.

Mr. Thomas Santo, an ex-principal with 20+ years of experience in early childhood education, elaborated on the need for social-emotional learning, “With good social emotional skills, children are more resilient and excel in school and later in their careers.” Addressing parents, he further stated, “Investing in your child's Social Emotional Learning is an investment in their future.”

These lessons will help my child achieve confidence, happiness, and contentment while exploring their way through personal and professional life. The interactive videos in SKIDOS Rekindle Minds are game-changers! Maria, my younger kid, absolutely loves the different worlds and especially the character Moyo.”

Sandra Day O’Connor Institute Releases ‘Citizens Guide to Presidential Primaries’ and More Free, Online Civics Micro-Lessons for Adults
PHOENIX, January 10, 2024 (Newswire.com) - The Sandra Day O’Connor Institute for American Democracy today announced the debut of the Citizens Guide to Presidential Primaries: a new, free, online resource to answer questions about and help Americans navigate the presidential primaries. The Institute also released the Elections and How They Work micro-lessons for Civics 101, which is a civics course geared toward adult learners, countless numbers of whom never received civics education when they were in school.
“There’s some confusion surrounding how presidential primaries operate in the United States because 50 states each have their own rules, so there isn't a single, consistent system,” said Institute Director of Civics Education Benjamin Maynard. “The Citizens Guide to Presidential Primaries aims to simplify things and give citizens the essential facts through a single resource that will help them understand how primaries function. For example, it offers the date for each state’s primary and breaks down the distinctions between open and closed primaries, as well as bound and unbound electors.”
The Institute’s Civics 101 course continues to roll out in phases. The first series, the Foundations of American Democracy, debuted in November 2023. The new series, Elections and How They Work, covers topics such as the rights and responsibilities of voting, evaluating political candidates, and how to fact-check claims. Each course micro-lesson can be completed in less than 10 minutes, which is ideal for adults with busy schedules who want to learn when they have free time, and at their own pace.
“We heard over and over from adults, some of whose children were learning civics in school, that they wanted the opportunity to enhance their own civics knowledge,” said Maynard. “The O’Connor Institute created the Citizens Guide to Presidential Primaries and Civics 101 to fill that unmet need.”
“Adults have long deserved free resources like the Citizens Guide to Presidential Primaries and Civics 101,” said Matt Feeney, chair of the O’Connor Institute’s Board of Directors. “This civics material is rich and serious and important, but it’s also accessible and presented in an engaging manner.”
“Justice Sandra Day O’Connor long said that when it comes to civics education, American society cannot be complacent,” said Institute President & CEO Sarah Suggs. “The Citizens Guide to Presidential Primaries and Civics 101 are ways for adults to support their desire to learn more about civics and for all of us to be our best citizens.”
The Citizens Guide to Presidential Primaries and Civics 101 is available at www.CivicsforLife.org.

Founded in 2009 by retired Supreme Court Justice Sandra Day O’Connor, the O’Connor Institute, a nonprofit, nonpartisan 501(c)(3), continues her distinguished legacy and lifetime work to advance American democracy through multigenerational civil discourse, civic engagement and civics education. www.OConnorInstitute.org
