Alumni Testimonials

The combination of resources provided by GenSpark and Microsoft facilitated a comprehensive learning experience. This training will significantly impact my career trajectory by enhancing my skills in artificial intelligence, machine learning, and cloud computing.

Bhairavi C.

My overall experience with the GenAI and Microsoft Azure training was incredibly enriching. Despite initial hurdles due to my limited familiarity with C#, Python, and Azure, I found the content engaging and informative.

Brian E.

After obtaining my college degree in mathematics, I took a break to raise my children. When I was ready to return to work four years later, my lack of work experience and the career gap made it harder to secure a job. I gained significant knowledge during GenSpark’s 10-week Java Full-Stack training. The instructors were helpful and among the best I have worked with. Recently, I was placed with a client and started my new job.

Aniqa B.

GenSpark really helped ease the stress of my situation. It provided the time, support, and direction I needed to improve myself by learning new skills. GenSpark also helped me find the right opportunity and arranged interviews, allowing me to focus on self-improvement rather than applying to dozens of positions in hopes of receiving a response. Thanks to GenSpark, I was placed at a top insurance organization.

Nicklaus K.

I had an amazing experience with GenSpark. It truly kickstarted my career in technology. The staff and instructors were incredibly supportive throughout the entire process — from initial training to job placement. I felt confident during interviews and was able to secure a fantastic job. I am now working as a software developer at a top U.S. airline.

Andrew P.

The good folks at GenSpark helped me accelerate my cloud journey. I enrolled in the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner cohort with GenSpark. I had a dedicated team of instructors, mentors, and fellow students / colleagues to help me every step of the way. After 12 successful and interesting weeks of learning, and with a certification under my belt, I can say that the sky is not the limit for me — it is just the starting point with GenSpark.

Frequently Asked Questions by Job Seekers

 

  • Authorized to work in the U.S.
  • No visa sponsorship required
  • Able to make a full-time commitment (Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM EST)
  • Willing to relocate for the job if required (relocation costs covered by GenSpark)
  • Prior IT experience or degree required for some training programs

In addition to providing you with the technical training that you need to land the job, we emphasize interview preparations that begin in the first few weeks of your joining GenSpark, and include both group sessions and weekly mock interviews.

 

As you wrap up your training, we will share your resume and portfolio with our clients and set up interviews for you. If you nail the interview, you have the job. If not, we will share feedback with you so that you can get the next one.

 

You do not just have one opportunity to find a job – we have many clients and roles that we can position you for, to ensure that you get hired. That is why our placement rates are more than 90%.

 

Your relationship with us does not end once you begin your job. We continue to support and mentor you so that you transition into the role well. We are invested in your success.

It does not cost you anything to join GenSpark. We believe that individuals who are just starting their careers should not be investing huge sums of money to gain the necessary skills to launch their careers.

After you apply to join, we will review your application and if your profile matches one of the roles that we are searching for, we will reach out.

 

The first stage of interviews is a quick phone chat. During this stage, recruiters will preliminarily assess your fit and availability and share details about the role.

 

The next stage of interviews is a technical round where a recruiter will assess your current technical and soft skills. After your interview is complete, we may share a brief online assessment to further assess your technical proficiency.

 

If you pass the interview process, you will get an offer to join GenSpark. Before joining, you may be subject to a background check and drug test.

There is none!

 

When you join GenSpark, we do not require any payment from you.

 

After you finish training, we help you find a job at one of the Fortune 500 companies that we have relationships with. Here is where some people get confused. Once you start working with one of our clients (with a full-time salary and benefits), we ask that you stay at that organization for at least 12-18 months (length varies depending on the organization). This is simply so that we can recoup some of the investment we have made in you. After your contractual time, you are free to continue working with that organization or find another gig.

 

If you happen to leave before the contractual time at the organization is complete, we ask that you pay back the training portion that you would have paid in the first place. But if you fulfill your time at the organization, then nothing else is required of you.
