In this video, I talk about an opportunity to get a tech job in 2024 that requires no degree and no experience. It is a paid opportunity that allows you to gain registered certifications and learn about your chosen track while getting work experience! 🤯 (including UX, engineering, marketing, and more)
I'm talking about apprenticeships, a great way to get paid work experience and learn the skills you need for a tech job, without having to go to college or have any prior experience. I specifically focus on the Google UX Design Apprenticeship, but I also mention that other tech companies have apprenticeships available as well, which you can find the links to below: 👇

Thank you! 💪

[@jessenianauta-vs4rl]

LOVE this! I knew about this earlier in the year and was looking more into it. I come from the VFX background so lots of experience in the design field. The google apprectienship looks like they are opening up again later this month. Do you find they are flexible for you to be able to partake remotely?

OMG thank you so much for this info!!!! I am currently a software developer, but always felt more passion for design and arts, I have decided this year to switch to UX desig and I am studying UX Google certification I am fascinated with this UX world.

[@rahpstudio]

You're very welcome and that's so exciting, OMG, I'm wishing you all the best. You got this, don't let the negative people dissuade you, there is still so much opportunity in UX if you hustle and find ways to differentiate yourself in a sea of people with similar portfolios and profiles. You got this! 💪

[@blognroses3161]

First of all, I love your content SO much! I am currently a PhD student in HCI with a specialty in UI/UX design. Am I eligible to an internship or is it only for undergraduates?

[@erickam9648]

I have had my alerts on for a while for the UX and the IT . I only ever see the roles that require a degree or experience. Is it best to check certain times of years if you dont have a degree or experience. Thank you for the video

[@joselitosibayan8112]

As an experienced graphic designer wanting to make a big career switch into UI/UX, I literally don't know where to start. I am currently taking the Google UX Certification Program and a huge part of my interest is in UX Research. Your video gave me insight on what to do next. Cheers!!

[@moooooooooooooooooooooooooo]

I legit had no idea google had apprenticeships!! This is a legit option!!!

[@rahpstudio]

I literally found out about it recently too, it's incredible!

[@nnothing9032]

Thanks for pumping out all these awesome vids and congratz on 1k! As a 4th year undergrad, I'm currently applying to internships and was wondering if you would recommend submiting ATS friendly resumes or designed ones in your experience?

[@rahpstudio]

Thank you!!! And you're very welcome, I'm honestly having fun 😄. I have tried both resume approaches and I would say that the easily scanned, minimal formats performed best for me. With that said, I think you can still add your own design flair to the ATS friendly resumes, maybe that could be a good video - a walkthrough of my old resume and how I made it my own. What do you think, would that be helpful?

[@nnothing9032]

@@rahpstudio that would be super helpful, thanks again!

[@mnoirx4347]

Wish apprenticeships were available remotely, anyways congrats on 1k+ subs, love from Pakistan :)

I know, I wish that more companies were still supporting remote work. 🫤 And thank you so much, can't believe we're finally past 1k! Thank you so much for the support 💛 😊

Yep. I live in Brazil and is Very hard to have oportunities in entry level carrer. Sometimes I want tô give up especially because I work 10 hours a day tô suport my self. However im passionate about this and I Will not give up

[@charlie.saturday]

Awe! I found your video the VERY day after they closed applications 😭 But thanks so much for the info!! Do you have any other suggestions for entry/jr ux-ers? Im completely self-taught. I've spent the last year and a half learning all there is to learn, including some volunteer products I created (to learn software). But Im ready to work now and would like to work with a company but have no clue where to find the jobs to fit my criteria

[@rahpstudio]

Oh no! Junior roles are tough right. We were actually talking about how we wish we had more interns and junior designers in our team but hiring has slowed down so much in the last couple of years. Have you looked at Pinterest? I know they have an apprenticeship program too. I don't think there's really any insider tip I can give you... the only thing I've found useful is keeping my eyes open on LinkedIn for posts of folks announcing junior roles but they are super competitive. The only other option are internships but the are usually limited to university students which I don't think would be helpful ugh I wish I had better suggestions 😥

[@dennismwangi8778]

All these opportunities seem to be in First World Countries.

[@rahpstudio]

I know, I wish they would expand to more parts of the world :/

[@travis_saldanha]

How is this different from an internship?

[@rahpstudio]

Internship is usually a summer or a couple of months and are for students, apprenticeships are for people without a design background and last 18 months

[@Saarthii-en7gi]

Thanks for the video! It was a very useful information for me. I am from India. I am switching career from marketing to ux, how helpful is this to finally get a job offer after completing?

[@wairimu-nguyo]

Thanks. This was very informative. Are there any apprenticeships for African but remotely?

[@MAZZTHEGAMER]

best video i stubled upon, thank you so much

[@rahpstudio]

You're very welcome

[@ashleybrenda___]

Feels like options are very narrowed UX/Ui is only available for Us. Not opportunities in Canada or Europe

[@rahpstudio]

This is so true, the opportunities really vary by country and another country that seems to be having a lot of opportunities is India. I think that there is definitely a shift in big tech to increase hiring in Lower Cost of Living countries where the pay is a lot less to save money and you'll see a lot of growth in places like India and Poland which is definitely not great to hear if you're in the West. 🙁

[@unuefeejovwoke6609]

No one in africa?

Not yet, unfortunately. 😕

Thank you for creating such helpful content! I love the mix of UX and art! Do you happen to know when in the spring (2024) the Google UX apprenticeship application will open? I'm really interested in this opportunity

[@rahpstudio]

OMG thank you for mentioning my art content too. 🥹 They still haven't opened up the UX apprenticeships in the USA but definitely keep an eye on it.

ur videos are amazinggggg❤..love ur content :) i have a doubt..do we apply two role at same time.?(bcuz i am interested in both role)

[@rahpstudio]

Thanks so much, that means a lot. 🥹 I actually think that you are able to apply to 3 different roles at Google at a time but double check just to make sure.

[@beccaleighbeauty]

Love your content! Can you do a video going over resumes/cover letters for those with no experience? Keep up the great work!

[@rahpstudio]

Thank you!!! And yes, resumes will be my next video 👏🏼. Excited to share my ugly resumes too 🤣.

[@sanaag4702]

This is such great info! Thank you for sharing. I'm currently in the middle of completing the Google UX Design Certificate and I'm a bit worried about the resume part for these apprenticeships since I don't have a resume that particularly caters to design nor do I have a completed portfolio. Should I submit a resume that deals specifically with UX or would a regular resume (mine has mentions of my past work experiences in international-related fields and marketing) suffice? Also, which would be a better path to choose when getting your foot in the door of UX: an internship or an apprenticeship? I'm super interested in UXD and my passion for it is growing so I'm hoping that by the time the applications open I have something to show 😭

[@rahpstudio]

You're very welcome! Don't worry at all about showing design experience in your resume because they're not expecting you to have any at all. They're actually looking for people that are new to design or switching careers, from bootcamps, etc. So, I think if you frame it as you're switching careers and explain that in your cover letter (if they ask for one), you'll be okay! Internships vs apprenticeships are different. For intern you'll need experience in design whereas apprenticeship you don't. Talking about Google specifically, internships require you to be enrolled full time at university whereas apprenticeships don't. Depending on where you fall between those prerequisites will determine which one is a better fit for you. Hope this helps and good luck! 💪

[@lululcretia123]

Thank you for making these videos! It really eases the anxiety of entering the UX field. I am a college graduate going through a career change and a complete newbie to UX, I'm genuinely enthusiastic about pursuing apprenticeships. Do you have any additional guidance or resources that could assist me in standing out and securing an apprenticeship? Congrats on 1K subs!!!

[@rahpstudio]

Thank you! I'm glad you find the content helpful. The only other advice I can offer is that if you're applying for an apprenticeship, try to focus on or showcase your ability to work with different partners because I heard that is something they're looking for in future apprenticeships. Hope this helps, and good luck!

[@andrewkim1422]

Thank you for the info.! It's really helpful! It looks like these apprenticeships might have certain time of periods opening up the spot for the candidates as I see they don't hire anyone at this moment. I will def. check these out periodically to see what applicable programs are out there! Thank you!

[@rahpstudio]

You're welcome! Yes, I think the open cohorts yearly and each track and country seems to open at different times. Definitely keep an eye on it. 👀

[@carmenzubiate6866]

Is only for the US ? I currently live in Brazil and the ux design area is really new, so I dont have a lot of options here for entry level positions

[@rahpstudio]

I think so :/ But there is a filter in the apprenticeships careers page that lets you filter by country so I would double check to see if there are any opportunities in Brazil.

[@johannessmithenstein]

This is a total lie. I literally just checked those exact links and when you click apprenticeship for IT, nothing comes up in the search results. The only options on those search pages are either requirements for already having a degree, or in the lowest level, you have to be currently working on one. Clicking on apprenticeships for one of the other categories just brings you to the search page again but it's showing results for jobs that clearly require degrees and loads of experience. Why lie?

[@rahpstudio]

As I mentioned in the video, the cohort applications for this year are already closed and the next cohort will start taking applications in the spring of 2024. Obviously, jobs that are not apprenticeships have different requirements and are unrelated to what was discussed in the video. As a designer at Google, I currently work with 3 of the 2023 UX apprentices so the program is still running and thriving. Please watch the full video and double check your research before making accusations and misleading aspiring apprentices. Good luck.

[@charlie.saturday]

Dude why are you so vulgar? As you can see he's a smaller creator, which means he doesn't have much to gain from lying about such a niche thing, for no reason. There's no rage bait here. I think you need to take a breath and go touch grass, say your gratitudes, and go do a good deed. Maybe it'll help reset your super quick anger.
