BEFORE YOU TAKE THE NEXT STEP
Good questions.
Clear answers.
Start here, then explore the syllabus for the full program expectations.
Why is the program free?
re:WORK TRAINING is a nonprofit supported by donors, foundations, and corporate partners. That support helps keep the Academy free for participants.
Do I need to be pursuing a sales role?
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.
Do I need a degree or sales experience?
No degree or previous sales experience is required. Come ready to learn, practice, take feedback, and follow through.
When can I start, and how much time will I need?
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.
Can I move from self-paced learning into a cohort?
Yes, self-paced learners may be considered for a cohort based on their commitment to the process. Starting in MissionXP gives you a way to learn, contribute to the community, and show your work while cohort placement is considered.
What happens after I submit the interest form?
Check your email for next steps, including a short video assessment. The team will guide you through cohort consideration and, if selected, orientation. You can start the self-paced Academy in MissionXP while you wait; submitting the form does not confirm a cohort place.
Does completing the program guarantee a job?
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.
What equipment and tools will I use?
You’ll need internet access and a device that can play video, take screenshots, record a spoken response, and export a résumé as a PDF. The Academy uses MissionXP, LinkedIn, and a calendar. An AI writing tool is optional; your work must accurately reflect your own experience.
