IDEAtor-Apprenticeship

What is the IDEAtor Apprenticeship?

The Insights Association IDEAtor Apprenticeship is designed to attract and retain emerging talent within the market research and consumer insights industry. By partnering with industry organizations to solve real-world organizational challenges, conduct meaningful research, and learn the industry's ins and outs, the IDEAtor Apprenticeship is a highly curated program to foster growth, real work experience, and access to emerging and non-traditional research talent.



Insights Association

As the leading voice, resource, and network of the marketing research and analytics community, the Insights Association empowers intelligent business decisions. Through advocacy, education, and certification, we enable our members to thrive in an evolving industry and drive business impact.

IA has created a pathway to a more inclusive market research industry by founding the IDEA Council (Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access), which governs the IDEAtor Apprenticeship. The IDEA Council conducts research throughout the year on diversity, equity, and inclusion and shares best practices within the industry through webinars and in-person events.

Our investment into the future of market research is represented in the IDEAtor Apprenticeship, a 12-month fully remote apprenticeship for entry-level and transitioning career talent.
