Introducing Shift Career Accelerators

Career Accelerators are funded by Shift hiring partners and are currently offered at no cost to the military community. If you’re a veteran or you’re simply getting a headstart on your post-military career, you are eligible to apply. As a potential candidate, you’ll need to certify that you are actively seeking employment one month after the cohort start date.

We offer deep-dives into diverse job functions like project management, customer success, and revenue generation, but are always looking to expand our partnerships and focus areas. Coming soon, we’ll be including Career Accelerator programs for Breaking into Pro Sports, pathways for MBA veterans and veterans with top secret security clearances.

We value each and every applicant, but seats are limited to ensure a program size conducive to all participants and their learning outcomes. Once your application has been submitted, our team will review your submission materials in the order they are received. Candidates with more urgent timelines for employment will be prioritized. 

Once our team makes an admissions decision, you will be notified by email and asked to confirm your spot by signing an acceptance letter. If your situation changes and you wish to withdraw your acceptance at any time, please let us know right away. 

We will contact all program participants one week prior to the program start date and provide additional details and pre-work to prepare for the four weeks ahead. If you are not selected, we encourage you to re-apply to future programs that run on a monthly basis throughout the year.

Candidates that complete a Career Accelerator are guaranteed to be highlighted to Shift hiring partners and will be prepared for inbound interview requests. Candidates with more urgent employment timelines will also be prioritized.
