How it works

Four steps. No fluff.

The path stays simple: apply, onboard, build, graduate. Every step creates something visible.

01

Apply

Sign in with LinkedIn, pick a track, write a few sentences. About five minutes.

02

Onboard

Get approved, then run through the onboarding checklist for your chosen track.

03

Build

Work assignments at your pace. End on a capstone with a real artifact.

04

Graduate

Earn a verifiable credential and a founder-signed recommendation.

Program view

The work has a visible trail.

From application to graduation, the internship is organized around proof: choices, submitted work, review history, and a credential others can inspect.

FAQ

The honest questions.

The short version: free, self-paced, global, and built around real proof of work.

Is this really free?+

Yes. No fees, no payment, no upsell. We make money elsewhere. This program exists to build a pipeline of people we trust.

Do I need to pay for Claude or any other AI tools?+

No. The free tiers cover everything in the curriculum. Nothing in the program requires a paid plan or a credit card.

Who can apply?+

Anyone 18 or older, anywhere in the world. No degree, no prior experience, no application-essay games. You commit, we ship the program.

What do I get at the end?+

A verifiable credential, a founder-signed recommendation letter, and a portfolio piece you actually built. We do not promise a job.
