That is why you can be confident in your new role once you complete your training. Throughout your training, we are preparing you for real work, not just theoretical training.

Job searching can be stressful, but GenSpark makes the process easy for you. You will not be navigating it alone. Here are some ways we support your new career:

Specialized technology training

We work closely with our clients to understand their specific needs, and that helps us specify the training you receive so that you can succeed. You can be confident that, when you start on day one, you will be ready.

Interview and resume preparation

We connect you with experts who can help you craft your resume so that you know exactly what to submit for the job interview. We also provide interview preparation and tips to help you succeed.

Admission Process

Application

The first step in the process is to submit an application. There is no commitment at this point. Our recruiters will use your answers to determine the best program for you. Please include your questions and your course of interest in the additional information section.

Pre-screening

If we have a suitable training program for you, you will receive an email or text from a recruiter to conduct a brief screening. The recruiter will ask you some questions, explain the GenSpark program, and understand which of our upcoming training programs would be the best fit for you. Be sure to check your emails and phone calls for our response.

Interview

Before you join, you will have a technical interview to ensure your ability to succeed at GenSpark. The technical interview is virtual and approximately 45 minutes long and is administered online.

Assessment

As the final stage in the recruiting process, you may get an online, computer-based technical assessment if the training program you were selected for requires it. The assessment will be of your current knowledge, so you are not required to learn new material, but it would help to study up on what you already know. Your recruiter will share more information on the assessment during the interview process.

Offer

At this stage in the process, you will get an offer to join GenSpark. Upon receiving an offer to join GenSpark’s training program, you will be asked to sign a training agreement, complete onboarding paperwork, and successfully complete a background check. Once complete, you will be ready to join GenSpark and learn from our top-notch instructors.

Training

Once all your paperwork is completed, you will begin your training! You will be introduced to your program peers, your instructors, and all support staff that are invested in your success. Training length depends on your program and takes place from 9:00 A.M. to 5:00 P.M. Eastern Time (ET).
