THE PROGRAM
One pathway, from AI-curious to AI Integration Specialist.
Career Changers follow the same curriculum that makes whole teams AI-ready — at your own pace, without an employer cohort. It starts with a shared AI-literacy baseline, builds hands-on, job-ready capability through role- and industry-specific tracks, and articulates into the federally Registered Apprenticeship when an employer sponsors you.
It's incumbent-worker training with articulation pathways: every tier maps to the U.S. Department of Labor's AI literacy content areas, so the skills you build on your own count toward the apprenticeship credential down the road.

Why This Is Different
Why This Is Different
Built for the worker who can't step away to learn.
Traditional programs ask people to pause their careers and learn AI in the abstract. This one is built the opposite way.
Credential
Credentials without exit
A nationally recognized credential earned on the job — no one has to leave the workforce to get it.
Healthcare-native
Context from the first hour
Taught inside your industry's real workflows and rules — not generic AI bolted on to your work afterward.
Industry-built
Employer-authored standard
Built on 127 competencies validated by the employers who feel the shortage — not by a training provider guessing at demand.
Speed
Moves at the pace of the work
The curriculum pivots in months, not multi-year catalog cycles — keeping pace with how fast AI changes.
Also For
Not employer-sponsored? Career changers and individuals can pursue the same curriculum self-paced, with articulation pathways into the apprenticeship. See the Career Changers track →

Tier 3 · The Apprenticeship
A real, federally Registered Apprenticeship — built for your industry.
Co-designed with industry employers, the apprenticeship is among the first in the nation for an AI integration occupation — built on employer-defined competencies, taught inside real work, and earned on the job. First registered in healthcare, with potential to extend to manufacturing, agriculture, and more.

The training program gave me the chance to change my life. I didn't think it was possible for me to ever get a career in tech without going into more debt.
Crystal C.
Software Developer
By the end of the program, it gave me the confidence to enter the job market. Upon completing this program, I was quickly able to put myself and my family in a better position.
Patrick O.
Software Engineer
The chance to learn and collaborate with others excited me a lot! Having the experience of the code coaches and mentors on hand was invaluable.
Anthony R.
Junior Software Engineer
The mentorship from the code coaches was second to none. The program has shown me that there is no one career path and it's never too late to make a change.

Frequently
Asked Questions
Here's everything you need to know before getting started.
01
What is the Career Changers track?
The same curriculum that makes whole teams AI-ready, built for individuals — self-paced, without an employer cohort. It starts with a shared AI-literacy baseline, builds hands-on, job-ready capability through role- and industry-specific tracks, and articulates into the federally Registered Apprenticeship once an employer sponsors you.
02
Who is this for?
Career changers moving toward an AI-integration role on their own timeline, and incumbent workers adding AI skills to the job they already have — no career pause required. No cohort is required to start, and it's open to any background since it begins with an AI-literacy baseline.
03
Do I need a technical background?
No. It begins with an AI-literacy baseline — no technical experience needed, and every tier is applied, not theory-only.
04
How is this different from the employer-sponsored program?
This is self-paced, individual access to the same AI-Ready curriculum — not an employer-sponsored cohort, and not the full Registered Apprenticeship on its own. Instead, the tiers you complete articulate into the apprenticeship later, once an employer sponsors you.
05
What's the difference between the three tiers?
Tier 1 (Foundational) sets a shared AI-literacy baseline for any level. Tier 2 (Applied) is hands-on capability-building across three tracks — AI Builder, AI for My Role, and AI Leader. Tier 3 (the Apprenticeship) is the full DOL Registered Apprenticeship, combining Related Technical Instruction with 2,000 hours of on-the-job learning, available once you're employer-sponsored.
06
How much time does each tier take?
Tier 1 runs 12–20 hours. Tier 2 runs 64–124 hours depending on the track (AI Builder: 68–76 hrs, AI for My Role: 98–106 hrs, AI Leader: 84–124 hrs). Tier 3 is 145–185 hours of instruction plus 2,000 hours of paid on-the-job learning over a one- to two-year term.
07
What credential do I earn?
The AI Integration Specialist credential — a nationally recognized credential built on 127 competencies validated by the employers who feel the shortage. Job-ready skills you build on your own count toward this credential down the road.
08
How do I get started?
Start with the AI-literacy baseline (Tier 1) and go as far as you want on your own. Your skills articulate toward the apprenticeship whenever you're ready and an employer sponsors you.
