-- Path2Product has launched a new online educational platform developed to address the experience gap facing aspiring product managers. The program targets the common challenge where entry-level PM candidates struggle to secure roles without prior experience in the field.

The product management industry currently poses an issue for people new to or wanting to break into the field, with the majority of job postings requiring 2-3 years of prior experience, even for entry-level positions. This creates a cycle in which candidates cannot gain the necessary experience without first securing a role that demands it. As a result, career changers and recent graduates may be excluded from consideration despite having transferable skills in analysis, communication, and strategic thinking.
The Path2Product platform offers a structured 13-week curriculum that combines theoretical learning with practical application to try and solve this. Students work through real-world project simulations covering market research, user interviews, product strategy development, and stakeholder management. These hands-on assignments build into portfolio projects that demonstrate PM capabilities to potential employers. Each week focuses on specific skills that align with actual PM responsibilities across many industries and company sizes.
Each module includes personalized coaching sessions to reinforce learning and provide individual feedback. The curriculum covers mission and vision development, qualitative and quantitative research methods, prioritization frameworks, roadmap creation, and user story writing.
"We created Path2Product because breaking into product management shouldn't require luck or connections," explains John Fontenot, platform founder. "Our students graduate with actual project experience and portfolios that prove their capabilities to hiring managers."
Students gain access to a community of aspiring product managers for networking and peer support. The platform operates entirely online, making the training accessible to aspiring PMs worldwide regardless of location.
Past graduates have secured positions at companies including LinkedIn and PayPal, and the program offers flexible pricing options starting with complimentary introductory content. Students can choose monthly payment plans or one-time purchases for full access, with pricing varying by country to ensure global accessibility across different economic conditions.
Path2Product also hosts the "Lessons in Product Management" podcast, which aims to bridge the gap in product management experience for those who want to become product managers and offers career guidance for the PM community.
