THE MISSION

The Makery is a mission driven company​

At The Makery, our mission is to make opportunity for others. To support this mission, we re-invest a percentage of our profits and time into our apprenticeship program that teaches UX/UI skills to students with economic disadvantage. 

​These students enter our month-long User Experience Design apprenticeship that teaches the fundamentals of UX design (personas, wireframes, UI design, user testing).

​At the end of the apprenticeship, they have the opportunity to work at The Makery, designing real-world projects, building their technical and soft skills...all to accelerate their emerging design career!
