OVERVIEW

Immersive & Hands-On Training

Do you want to create meaningful & relevant experiences? Dive into a field that merges technology, design, market research, psychology, and business.  

UX Design isn’t just about creating interfaces; it’s about reflecting our culture and crafting experiences that engage diverse groups of people. Currently diverse voices are absent from user experience design.

At its core, it’s about connecting with users, anticipating their needs, and designing solutions that simplify their digital journey. Whether you’re a creative thinker or a problem solver there’s a place for you in the world of UX Design. Everyone has the potential to shape digital experiences; all you need is the passion to learn and the drive to make a difference.

If understanding people and helping them get the most out of technology resonates with you, UX design is your calling.

More stories
“As a student you’re given a lot of guidance but also autonomy, plus you’re given the opportunity to work in a real-life scenario, which genuinely gets you workplace ready”. “You have to be ready for a challenge, and you absolutely have to come in with a growth mindset”.
“I actually ended up getting into UX because I wasn’t creatively challenged enough with [software] development” Muryum recalls lightheartedly. “I’ve always been quite creative and I was always really good at art”. ”There is absolutely room for people coming into text with non-tech background. Believe in yourself, take initiatives and know that you can make the transition”.
I would say go for it as you have nothing to lose! Make sure you do your research on different roles in tech beforehand so that you choose the right accelerator for you and your career path. Don’t hesitate to reach out to past Mission Ready candidates and ask for advice if you need – from personal experience, the Mission Ready community is very kind, welcoming and always willing to help!
“I had no idea what I wanted to pursue in life. I certainly didn’t want to be a doctor or engineer, which all my friends were pursuing, so that left me feeling disheartened.” “My 19 weeks were definitely challenging but rewarding. It’s incredibly fast-paced. I learned more in the initial nine weeks of Mission Ready than in my entire university year.”
