Build the foundations for a career that’s truly yours.

An online university for people of all ages to find freedom, success, meaning in their careers.

What is the price of an unexamined career?

  • How much potential have you lost by letting someone else tell you what you’re capable of?

  • How much of your life are you willing to spend doing work that means nothing to you?

  • How often do you wonder if you’ll ever find your passion and purpose in life?

So many of us follow a path someone else built,

and never develop the tools to build our own.

How much are you giving up by not being in control of your career?

Testimonials

In 2021 I was doing my MBA at Schulich, and my goal was to work in VC. The problem was there were very few VC jobs, and I had no connections in the space. I had no way to stand out.

Then I came across Hive Academy.

Hive helped get better at pitching myself, and encouraged me to go to networking events. Within two months I had an internship at one of the best VC firms in the world. But my journey with Hive was just starting.

I had never worked in VC or in North America before, and was nervous and unsure during my internship. VC is all about relationships, and Hive Academy taught me how to strategize key conversations, focus on the value I could add, and build strong relationships with the partners.

At the end of my MBA, I was offered an analyst position at the company, one of the most prestigious jobs offered to anyone in my class.

But it didn’t stop there. Less than a year after joining, I became a Director at the firm. A success story I could hardly have imaged just 2 years before, setup by the foundation I’d built at Hive.

I still work with Hive Academy, and put all that I learned here into use in my current work, which is building a company of my own.

Hive Academy fundamentally changed the trajectory of my career, and gave me skills and confidence I’d never even thought of as possible.

Enrolling in these programs remains the best investment I’ve ever made in my career.

I have always been a musician at heart. I tried to do music full time, but ended up needing to get a job. A friend helped me get work in finance, but even after 2 years I didn’t enjoy it.

I felt I was at a crossroad in life - I was 28 and I wanted figure my life out - move to a different place and have a different career, a different life.

That’s when I came across Hive Academy.

I had always thought tech was a good option, but I had struggled academically in school and college, and I believed I wasn’t smart enough to learn to code. And besides, I had no idea how to even approach it.

A communication course at Hive showed me how not to judge myself, to process the feelings that were holding me back.

Other courses then helped me build a self-study plan, a roadmap to a job, and how to tell my story with confidence.

About a year in, I landed a full time role in tech. The skills I’d learned at Hive helped me thrive in the work environment too, and within 2 years I was promoted to Senior Software Engineer.

And finally I landed job at my dream company, and moved to the new city and life I’d always wanted.

I know the hours and hard work I’ve put into my journey, but it’s hard for me to say that I would’ve made it without the guidance and knowledge I got here.

Why we do this

I know what its like to be scared of never making it.

At 29, after years of struggle, I found myself at a job I hated and no way out. Out of sheer desperation, I quit to try start my own company. Not because I had a great idea or a strong belief I could do it, but because I had no other options.

After working on my own for a year, I managed to figure a lot of things out, and for the first time I was happy in work, and not reliant on anyone for what I needed from work - an income, a community, and sense of meaning, purpose, and growth.

I realized the only reason I had struggled for so long was because there were a set of rules and skills no one had taught me when I was younger.

And I resolved that no-one else should have to struggle like I did.

I haven’t had a fairytale career - its been full of doubt, unemployment, struggle. But its led me to a beautiful place - one where I’m in control of my career, where I work on what I care about, and where I have the tools and confidence to know that I’ll succeed no matter what.

To a place where I’m free.

Come on over. Its great here.
