Frequently asked questions

Is this a job?+

Cohort zero starts as a free, in-person, unpaid training program — it isn't a paid job on day one. Candidates who perform well during training move into a two-year paid apprenticeship.

Where does it take place?+

In person, in the Baltimore, MD area. Being able to attend in person is part of the eligibility check.

Do I need prior AI or ML experience?+

No specific background is required. We're looking for people ready to learn hands-on — prior technical experience helps, but it isn't a prerequisite.

Do I need to be authorized to work in the US?+

Yes. Work authorization is part of the eligibility check before you're considered for the cohort.

Is there a cost to join?+

No — the initial training cohort is free to join. It's also unpaid: you won't be compensated during this stage. Paid compensation begins only if you move into the two-year apprenticeship.

Am I paid during the initial training?+

No. The initial in-person training cohort is unpaid for everyone who joins it. Compensation starts only for those selected to continue into the two-year paid apprenticeship afterward.

What do I get at the end of the program?+

Strong performers move into the paid apprenticeship.

When does cohort zero start, and when will I hear back?+

Exact dates are still being finalized. Everyone who completes the eligibility check will hear directly from us once they're set.
