Overview

Applying for a job today can feel like you are shouting into a void – most applications disappear without a response, and it’s hard to know why. For recent graduates, career changers, and mid-career professionals alike, the job search has become more complicated – more competition, more automated screening, and less feedback along the way.

Generation has spent 10+ years training people into life-changing careers across industries worldwide. Now we’re launching a free program built for how hiring works today. In 3 weeks, you’ll update your resume and LinkedIn, sharpen your interview skills, and build hands-on AI skills – from navigating AI-driven screening to building your own job search agent that scans multiple job boards and recommends the roles that best fit you. You’ll also get personalized coaching and the opportunity to interview with Generation’s hiring partners. After the initial 3 weeks, you will have continued curated job search support for up to three months.

The program is free, and we limit cohort seats so every participant gets real attention. Applications are open; the sooner you apply, the higher your chances of being selected.

What do we offer?

Job searching is exhausting – and it can take a real toll. This program is designed to give you structure, support, and a clear path forward. You won’t be doing it alone. The program combines self-paced online content with weekly live sessions led by expert career coaches. After completing the core modules, you’ll begin working directly with your personal employability coach – who will continue supporting you for up to three months after the program ends. After the program, your coach helps you refine your materials and connects you to interview opportunities with Generation’s hiring partners.

The Details:

What jobs can I do after completing the program?

We expect graduates to pursue a range of roles based on their background, experience, and goals –  this is not a program that trains you for one specific job. While many of our employer partners are in tech, we work to facilitate connections across industries. Your coach will help you identify and target roles that are the right fit for where you want to go.

Who is this program for?

This program is open to adult learners of all ages (18+ on August 1st, 2026) who are currently unemployed or underemployed (earning under $75,000 per year). We are prioritizing applicants from the Washington, DC, Atlanta, GA, and Austin, TX areas for our initial cohorts, but applicants in other locations are welcome to apply.

We’re looking for motivated learners who are ready to commit to the program and take an active role in their job search. You don’t need to have all the answers – that’s what we’re here for. Specifically, we’re looking for people who:

• are actively seeking full-time employment and ready to start a new role after the program
• are self-starters who can thrive in a remote learning and working environment
• can speak to examples of commitment, problem-solving, or leadership from their academic or professional lives

Learner requirements

• Currently reside in and have the legal right to work in the United States
• 18 years of age or older by August 1st, 2026
• University or College degree OR High School diploma or GED equivalent, with a minimum of 2 years of work experience 
• Currently unemployed or underemployed (working part-time but seeking full-time employment)
• Available to attend one live online session per week and complete approximately 15-20 hours of asynchronous content per week for the duration of the program
• Ready to actively pursue full-time employment after completing the program

What industry skills will you learn?

We’ll help you learn the technical and behavioral skills and mindsets with lots of hands-on, interactive sessions across the following sessions:

• Getting Started on your Career Pathway: Complete a self-assessment to define career pathway goals and target roles. Optional: AI Foundations course for beginners
• Resume Glow Up: Make your resume work harder. Learn how to format and tailor your resume so it gets through automated screening systems, and how to use AI tools to customize it for specific roles –  without letting AI think for you
• LinkedIn and Your Digital Brand: Build a LinkedIn profile that gets noticed. Learn how recruiters search, what makes a profile stand out, and how to use your digital presence to open doors
• Nailing the Interview: Identify best practices and run through several mock interviews, including with industry volunteers
• Communicate and Network like a Pro: Understand the ‘hidden job’ market and the power of networking to overcome the competitive job market. Get started on building your network!
• Creating Your Job Search Plan: So long, “spray and pray!” Understand the most effective way to apply to jobs (spoiler: it’s not high-volume ‘Easy Apply’ submissions) and how to best communicate to recruiters. Create a plan for self-care and protecting emotional health during your job search

AI fluency is embedded throughout each session – you will deploy AI-enabled tools across the entire job search:  tailoring applications, researching companies, preparing for interviews, navigating AI-driven screening, and learning how to avoid the common pitfalls of using AI. You’ll also build your own job search agent – an agentic workflow that scans multiple job boards and recommends the roles that best fit you.

Behavioral skills 

Every employer we work with told us these skills matter as much as the technical ones. We weave them throughout the program so you’re ready to hit the ground running on day one. You’ll practice and develop:

• Communication 
• Personal Responsibility
• Adaptability

Dasha

“If I think back to a year from today, now I’m a completely different person. I never thought I’d be in this field or growing this much in my career. If I hadn’t been through the Generation program, I’d probably still be a curbside shopper. This is all thanks to Generation.”
