1 year free - edx Verizon Skill Forward

Yeah, I went through all the menu's and I don't see anything in regards to where they track the 30 minutes. To be on the safe side, just complete one of the courses or programs of your choice within the 30 days and you're set for the entire year. What I am doing is the 'programs' of interest first and then work my way down that list... 365+ days left for the program, there are less than 300 courses, if you're speedy and can get one course a day and you're done all of them! But I wouldn't rush it, just work at your own pace and maybe do only the ones you are really interested in before working on the single course options... I would do a few programs that interest you most.

Dear Verizon Skill Forward Learners,

Verizon has recently launched the Thrive Apprenticeship program, and we want to make sure you know about it! This 6-12 month paid apprenticeship program is designed to provide individuals with limited work history, or no college degree, the chance to gain invaluable hands-on experience directly from Verizon.

In collaboration with Multiverse, the Thrive Apprenticeship program offers a unique blend of job training and instructional learning, preparing participants for success in their chosen field. And here's the best part: upon successful completion of the program, Verizon may extend full-time job offers to outstanding candidates!

The program is actively recruiting for Retail Apprentices, who will kick off their 6-month program in mid-July. This is a remarkable opportunity to immerse yourself in a dynamic learning environment, gain real-world skills, and potentially launch a rewarding career with Verizon.

We encourage those interested to apply to one of these open apprenticeship roles by the end of this week, Friday, April 26. Seize the chance to take your career to new heights with Verizon's Thrive Apprenticeship program!

One more month left! I got this email earlier this morning Nov 1, at 7am!

Congratulations on your journey with the Verizon Skill Forward Program! We hope you’ve gained valuable knowledge and skills so far.

As a reminder, your subscription will end next month. That means you still have 30 days to complete any open courses or revisit topics you found helpful. We encourage you to make the most of this time and finish strong!

As with other edX courses, you’ll have lifetime free access to the course content even after your subscription ends. However, any courses not completed by the end of your subscription will require individual payment if you wish to continue them and earn a certificate after your subscription ends. So be sure to wrap up those final lessons while you can!

We’re so proud of the progress you’ve made and can’t wait to see how you apply your new skills. Thank you for being part of this program, and we hope it’s been a rewarding experience.

Keep up the great work, and let us know if you need any assistance along the way!

 

Update: I believe this is still being offered for anyone who signs up and gets verified. It's one year from your acceptance start date, for example, you get accepted 1/1/2025, you'll have a membership valid until 1/1/2026. It's a great deal if you would like certs and get some experience in whichever program you're looking at, these do not have ACE recommendation for credit though. Great addition to the Coursera Plus deal for $199US/year (or free if you get it from your company or state)...
