We choose a Class and Department, check our inventory, study the work and apply for real openings. We use each step to build toward the job we want, starting wherever our experience fits.
We can use these checks as personal reminders. They stay in this browser only. They do not change a rank, award a certificate, send an application or confirm a job offer.
We start with the kind of work we want to do: build, make, maintain, move or connect. Our five Classes span skilled trades, robotics, AI and frontier tech, with hands-on, technical and leadership routes in each.
What we want from this step: We have a Class to explore, without closing off other routes.
Build
Construction, field work and mining
We build sites, move equipment and work the ground, from construction crews to drilling and field engineering.
Most common roles on our board today
Departments: Construction Corps · Surface Ops · Drilling

Advanced manufacturing and materials
We make, assemble, test and refine the parts and materials that plants, vehicles and space hardware need, from the shop floor to advanced manufacturing.

Energy, electrical and data centers
We keep power, air, water and cooling working, including for the data centers behind AI and cloud computing. Our hands-on routes connect to electrical and facilities engineering.

Robotics, autonomy and vehicles
We run, repair and build vehicles, drones and robots, then branch into controls, autonomy and embedded software.

We choose a Department inside the Class and save that choice in the Personnel File. Each Department has its own skills, badges, coursework, ranks and certificate. Medical, Security and Command are shared specialties across Classes.
What we want from this step: We have chosen a Department that fits the work we want to learn.
We take stock of the skills, training, certificates, work and projects already on our Personnel File. We add what is missing or correct what is wrong. Matched missions compare that record with job requirements, so we can see what is covered and what needs work.
What we want from this step: We have a current record and a specific gap to work on next.
We use the available Academy modules, quizzes and final tests to build knowledge and earn certificates of completion. We follow the next-rank checklist on the dashboard, including the required Personnel File items. Learning progress stays in the Department, not in the Class.
What we want from this step: We have completed the available work for our next step and know what remains.

We study through 12 Department tracks, with core modules, quizzes, a final test and advanced rank coursework. Department enrollment and cross-training eligibility determine course access. The dashboard checklist shows our next rank requirements.
Within the Construction Corps Class, we can explore broad trade foundations, Surface Ops site work or Drilling. Each Department has its own course progress, rank credit and certificate.
Project submissions, team-lead work and the capstone are coming soon. We can study the published advanced modules, but coursework alone does not complete a rank that also requires an unavailable project.
Our certificates show completion of an online course and test, not a trade license, registered apprenticeship or professional qualification. We still need the training and credentials an employer or licensing body requires.
We choose real openings, read the employer requirements and prepare a resume that reflects what we have actually done. Applications go through the employer website; we record them in the dashboard Mission log. Saved roles, replies, interviews and offers stay there, with a follow-up date. We do not submit applications automatically.
What we want from this step: We have submitted an application to an employer and recorded its next action.
Open applications in the Mission log · Use the resume maker · Browse trade openings · Browse robotics openings · Browse AI openings
We keep the Mission log current as the employer responds. If an offer arrives, we check the role and terms before deciding. Once work starts, we can add that experience to the Personnel File and keep building skills. The employer makes the hiring decision; our ranks, certificates and checkmarks do not guarantee an interview, offer or job.
What we want from this step: We have an offer to consider or a clear next application, without treating a checklist as a hiring result.
We send the Friday briefing with new openings, internships and career reading. Free.
