Earlywork is the largest tech and startup community for early-career talent across APAC, bringing together over 5000 founders, investors and operators. Community members leverage our online community, Earlywork Village, to find their next job, their dream co-founder and network with others in the local startup ecosystem.

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.

For more information, you can request our course guide.

No uni degrees and no technical experience required. If you love speaking to people and solving customer problems then you’ll be the right person for our program.

‍Note: this program is only available to those with Australian working rights, are open to taking a full-time role at the completion of the program - even if you’re still studying, and are keen on a tech sales role specifically.

You're a good fit for Earlywork Academy if:
- You have an energetic, ambitious attitude and hunger to learn
- Strong written & verbal communication skills
- Actively looking to land your first full-time role in tech
- Full working requirements in Australia

You're not a good fit for Earlywork Academy if:
- You’re already working full-time in tech
- You’re not willing to take on a full-time role
- You don’t want to work in tech sales
- You don’t have full working requirements in Australia

Throughout the program, you’ll be trained in Earlywork’s end-to-end job search methodology across personal branding, LinkedIn profile design, resumes, cover letters, company research, cold outreach and interview techniques.

Leveraging this framework, we’ve helped candidates land roles at companies like Atlassian, Amazon and Eucalyptus. But the help doesn’t stop there. In partnering with tech employers, we’ll provide you tailored introductions to hiring managers at top companies actively hiring early-career sales talent.

You’ll also get access to personalised 1:1 mentoring from Earlywork team members to help you navigate your job search journey with confidence.

Applications are marked on a rolling basis. To secure your spot for cohort 3 we recommend you apply well before the April 23 cut off date.

Cohort 3 start date: Monday May 1

Earlywork Academy has a total price of $3990 + GST, with a deposit prior to the program starting, and instalments 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.

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.

Beyond this, you will have weekly sessions with your career coach who will work with you to maximise your chances of landing a role as soon as possible.

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!
