The Application Process
At Apprentos, we believe the job application process is broken. Every day we hear from people who describe spending hours on applications just to get ghosted by employers. We're building something where the process itself respects your time and provides feedback.If you've been ghosted by an employer, or waited weeks to hear back on a job you wanted, or been told to reapply after being rejected without explanation - we are here to be different.
1. Download the Apprentos app and create an account. (Google Play or App Store)
2. Take assessments to be matched to the right industry. Our assessments ask how you think, what you're interested in, and what kind of work environment brings out your best. They source your highest skill areas and tell us (and you) where you'd likely thrive.
Hear back with real feedback. If you're selected for the interview phase, we'll tell you clearly. If you're not this round, you'll get real feedback on your assessments and application. You'll be eligible to apply to future cohorts.
3. Apprentos Interviews: Two phases of interviews with the Apprentos team. If you are not selected for the next round after your first or second interview, receive real feedback you can use for future job interviews or to apply for the next cohort.
4. Match Interviews: Finalists who pass both interview rounds will get matched with employers who are actively hiring in your area. Interview directly with them. You decide if it's a fit. They decide if you're the person. Everybody decides together. If the first one is not a fit, Apprentos will match you with other opportunities. Real interviews leading to a real Apprenticeship.
5. Join the Founding Cohort and Start Your Apprenticeship: All selected Apprentices will be matched with employers. Apprentos stays with you through your Apprenticeship (typically 6months - 2years as a full time employee and apprentice with Apprentos’ extra support). First paycheck within two weeks of Apprenticeship start date. Real benefits. Real wage progression. Real support.

Who We're Looking For
About You
- You're ready to commit to learning something real, showing up consistently, and being held to a standard. You want a career, not just a job. You're interested in the work, not just any paycheck.
- You might have never worked before. You might have worked retail, food service, warehouse, or customer service and felt like there was no path forward. You might have graduated college and are tired of endlessly applying to jobs. You might have tried trade school and found it too expensive. You might be a parent, or supporting family, and need a career that will support you long term. Whatever brought you here, you are applying because you are eager to have meaningful work and start your career.
- What matters: you bring an entrepreneurial spirit, a growth mindset, and genuine desire to grow as an effective leader.
Your Stage
- You're 18 or older. You're authorized to work in the United States. You can get to a job site reliably. (Need transportation support? We will be sure to match you with a job you can reliably get to for work.)
- You don't need experience. You don't need a degree. You don't need to have it all figured out yet. What you do need is readiness to commit fully and the willingness to be trained.
Your Commitment
- You must be able to fully commit to the apprenticeship. That means showing up consistently, being held accountable to real standards, and engaging actively throughout the program.
- You're available to start work full-time in July 2026. You're ready to move beyond applications that ghost you, interviews that lead nowhere, and jobs that don't teach you anything.
