Courses

You are always encouraged to learn at your own pace at Ocademy. However, if you need further assistance, check out our Courses. By attending Courses, you will follow a structured schedule, join a study group, and be led by industry AI professionals and college professors. Most of all, they’re provided at no cost.

Mentorship

Every student is eligible to apply for Ocademy’s Mentorship Program - someone who's been there and wants to help you get to where you want to go.

Your Ocademy mentor will get to know your specific career goals. Together, you'll create a roadmap to turn those aspirations into realities. You'll gain priceless insights from their journey, skip rookie mistakes, and fast-track your potential.

Community

Our community is built on open-source principles - all are free to participate, share ideas and resources, and help each other learn. There are many ways to participate: join our Discord channel, Wechat group, or Github repository, submit a form, and apply to be a volunteer.

Externship

Similar to internships, externships are experiential learning opportunities. However, students are usually in for experience and not for pay. Ocademy works with organizations to create the Externship Program for our students to network and gain real work experience.
