Do you feel like your work history doesn’t really show who you are and what you can do?
Apply to be part of a life-changing experience that will help you see paths to a career where you can grow and use your skills—no four-year degree required.
Apply by July 2nd, 2023
There are so many people who’ve been in your shoes—wanting to grow in their career and make a better life for themselves, but not sure how to connect their skills and on-the-job experiences to the next step.
That's why we want to help show you how others have leveled up their careers by developing and using their skills in new ways—and how you can do it, too. Because the next chapter in your story starts from where you are right now.
We’re looking for you if:
You don’t have a four-year degree, but you’ve developed skills and experiences on the job, and maybe gotten some certifications along the way
You work in a job or industry where people tend to not appreciate how much skill it takes to do well, for example, cashiers and retail, cleaning staff, restaurants and food service, rideshare and delivery drivers, maintenance staff, construction workers, warehouse workers, home health aide or other supportive roles in healthcare, or a mix of jobs like these
You’re looking for the next step on your path
What is this for?
You’ll be applying to be part of Roadtrip Nation’s public television series about how people find their path in life. And we want to highlight you and share your story too.
This season, we’re focusing on how skills are learned on the job, and how skills can be used to advance your career without a four-year degree.
But this is also so much more than a TV show—this is an opportunity for you to get out there, get exposure to new paths and possibilities, and talk to people whose stories can change your life.
If selected, you’ll get a generous paid stipend, and we’ll work with you to make this fit into your life.
If you’re thinking this opportunity isn’t for you because you could never take time off of work and life responsibilities (like parenting or caretaking) we’ll work together to make sure this is possible for you.
We’ll keep any travel and time away from home short, and you’ll receive a generous paid stipend to cover personal expenses and needs as a result of participating. We’ll also work together to schedule around you and provide support for what you need to make this work for your life.
Your story is important, and we want to make sure you have the support you need to meet financial obligations and life responsibilities while participating.
Application Details:
We’ll be filming in Fall 2023, and we’ll work with you to schedule around your life and commitments during that time
All travel expenses—plus a daily stipend for personal expenses—are paid for by Roadtrip Nation. We’ll work with you to make sure the stipend covers what you need to be able to participate
The experience will be filmed, and you’ll be asked to share your thoughts and feelings on-camera throughout the journey. The resulting documentary may be shown on public television, and/or used in Roadtrip Nation’s educational tools
If selected, you’ll help plan the experience around your interests and career aspirations—so you’ll need to work with Roadtrip Nation to research and book interviews with the career role models you’d like to speak with
After filming is over, we’ll provide you with six months of free personalized career coaching and support from InsideTrack to help you pursue your life, education, and career goals
