PEOPLE ARE PART OF THE PROCESS
“Because of re:WORK I've grown such a deep understanding of the tech sales landscape and have planted roots by connecting with great people across all levels of experience.”
Cynthia Pelzer
Hear Nevonce Mingo describe the support he found while making his move into tech sales.
These are individual experiences. Career paths and outcomes vary.
Explore our impact and evidenceVisual description: Nevonce speaks to the camera while seated indoors. The closing cards thank corporate supporters, invite viewers to “Be part of the change,” and show the re:WORK TRAINING logo.
My name is Nevonce Mingo, and I'm based out of Jersey City, New Jersey. Before re:WORK, I was laid off from my previous job that I've been with for about two and a half years. So that's what made me transition into tech sales. I was already interested in the industry.
If I had to say one thing that was very unique about re:WORK TRAINING, I would say all honesty was the culture. Everyone was willing to help, and that was even some of the candidates that was looking to get a job themselves. Everyone was just one unit.
I would say to somebody that's on the fence of joining re:WORK, why not? You want a job, and you want to break into the tech sales industry and have that career, come get this work. And that's exactly what I did, and that's where I'm at now, in my position. I'm very grateful.
This is a good cause. This is a good tool, and this is creating a lot of careers for people. Can't thank re:WORK TRAINING enough. So regardless of who you are, come get this work.

No. Sales is a common career path for our participants, but the Academy teaches a job-search approach you can apply across roles: research your market, communicate your value, build relationships, and manage your opportunities. This is career-search training; it does not replace the technical qualifications a particular role may require.
No degree or previous sales experience is required. Come ready to learn, practice, take feedback, and follow through.
You can start the remote, self-paced Academy in MissionXP today. Cohorts begin once per quarter and run for eight weeks. Self-paced learners set their own pace; cohort participants receive scheduling details from the team. Either path involves more than video time: plan for research, writing, missions, feedback, and professional conversations.

No. We provide learning tools and a professional community, with structured coaching in the cohort experience. You are responsible for completing the work and pursuing opportunities. Employment and referral outcomes vary by participant, employer, and market conditions.
