Earlywork Academy runs a three-week, cohort-based, virtual program created to help folks land their first full-time tech sales jobs. We’ll train you in a mix of core tech sales skills and job search skills, involving both theory and practice. On top of that, we’ll introduce you to top tech employers actively hiring entry-level sales talent.

Earlywork Academy has a total price of $1990, with a $490 deposit prior to the program starting, and 3 instalments of $500 paid only after landing your role in tech.

If you don’t land a job offer in tech within 6 months of graduating from Earlywork Academy, you’ll get a full refund for your deposit, no strings attached.

Earlywork Academy's inaugural program will be delivered by Earlywork co-founder Dan Brockwell, leveraging sales experience he's built at Earlywork and Uber. You'll also get to hear from guest instructors who are top sales leaders in tech.

Earlywork Academy runs a three-week intensive program that has nine sessions. These are held between Monday-Wednesday during the 6-8PM evening slot AEDT.

In order to best ensure job search success in the Earlywork Academy, it is expected that you attend all sessions. If you can't make a certain session, please let the team know ahead of time, as we tailor session formats based on the number of attendees.

There will be session recordings available for you to catch up on the content. Note that each session builds on the last, so it's vital that you do so in the event you miss an event.

Yes, all sessions are recorded so you can review and watch them later. However, to maximise your opportunities to get tailored feedback and practice on core sales & job search skills, we strongly recommend that you participate in all sessions live.

Earlywork Academy’s first program is specifically focused on tech sales. However, we intend to launch programs for other non-technical roles in future. If there’s a program you’d like to see, contact us!
