After reviewing over 20,000 + applications while hiring at Rocket Health, we found a big problem: college equips students with theory, but fails to prepare them for real-world practice.

This issue repeatedly came up in our interviews with thousands of psychologists, where we often had to tell candidates to gain practical experience before reapplying.

Many young psychologists shared that it’s a chicken-and-egg problem—companies require experience, but there’s no clear path to gain it.

Despite the surge in demand for mental health professionals, the divide between academic learning and practical application continues to grow.

Many have the potential to become exceptional psychologists but need to refine their skills and build confidence before working with clients. Young psychologists excel in theory but need real-world experience.

The industry needed more than just talent—it needed prepared, high-quality professionals ready to tackle the complexities of the field.

‍This is why we created Rocket Academy: a training ground where young psychologists evolve into skilled, confident professionals ready to face real-world practice.
