@_MariemEhab and I are opening Cohort 6 today. Before we do, here is what Cohort 5 has been telling us:

Congratulations Cohort 5! ๐
Eight weeks of choosing themselves, every single week.
Five cohorts in, and the thing that gets me hasn't changed: the hardest part of a job search isn't the applications. It's deciding you belong in the room before anyone tells you that you do.
And c#5 decided to take a bet on themselves by showing up:
โณ 283 LinkedIn & GitHub profile reports generated
โณ 431 AI resume reviews generated
โณ 881 AI mock interview sessions completed
โณ 90% felt confident defining their career direction after week 1
โณ 93% felt ready to walk into an interview after week 6
โณ 97% felt equipped to handle self-doubt and rejection after week 7
In a tough market, showing up every week takes real commitment. These numbers prove they did.
So proud of every single one of them! ๐
Thank you for trusting Mariem and I.
Thank you for trusting the process.
Thank you for reminding me why we started OctoPrep.
Cohort #5, this isn't the end. It's your new beginning! ๐ซถ

Seven seconds.
It's what recruiters spend on your LinkedIn profile before deciding to keep reading.
Recruiters scan fast. They want to know in seconds whether you could fit a role they're filling.

A powerful partnership between PLP & @OctoPrepAI is here.
Across @plpcommunity, one question pops up: โIโve gained the skills, now what?โ
Following strong applications, weโre bridging the gap from training to employment.
Orientation kicks off today! More opportunities coming.

Talent shouldn't stop at training.
Proud to announce our partnership with @PowerLearnProject - 15,000 developers trained across Africa, on a mission to reach 1 million.
Getting to 1 million matters. What happens after matters just as much.
From 1 million trained to 1 million hired. ๐๐

๐ฅTwo cohorts ago, one did. Today, we made it official!
Proud to announce our partnership with @HororeBELL and @AfricanWITS , for their women and girls across multi cohorts.
Technical skills get you to the door. Career prep gets you through it.

Should you have a plan B?
Answer: there is no plan B because it distracts you from plan A
Staying focused on your goals can be tough. Self-doubt, unexpected challenges, and things beyond your control can make you question what you are doing and why. Your mind starts playing the โwhat ifโ game:
โก๏ธWhat if it doesnโt work?
โก๏ธ What if Iโm not good enough?
โก๏ธ What if external events have a bad impact on my progress?
Hereโs the truth: the more you focus on plan B, the less energy you give to plan A.

Before I tell you what's new, let me tell you what happened with our OctoPreppers.
โจ Eze was able to secure a role as Technical Product Manager at an AI startup.
โจ @0x01_Muawia signed as Full Stack Software Engineer role.
โจ Mahmud secured his seed round. He's building.
โจ @a_yassin01 joined the core team of an EduTech company.
โจ @AwamChimere landed his SE internship. 2 weeks into the program with c#4.
5 people. Different countries. Different career paths.
All hired ๐
And so many more Octopreppers landing interviews, passing first screenings, and getting callbacks.
That's what 8 weeks of structure and support does.
For C#5, we're opening 500 scholarship seats. Fully funded. Same 8-week program that got these results.
Why 500? You'll understand in the coming weeks.
If you're a student, a recent graduate, an early-career professional, or transitioning into tech and you've been sending applications into the void, this is for you.
๐ Enroll now ๐ octoprep.ai/enrollment
And if you know someone stuck in the job search, the best thing you can do is share this with them.
โจ And this is only possible because of people who believe the next generation has so much to offer, we just need to give them the space and time to prepare. So thank you to the founding community contributors for making this real:

Mahmud here the one mentioned above.
OctoPrep did not just give resources. It gave structure, accountability, and a serious community that pushes you to execute every week. That environment played a real role in the momentum that led to my seed round.
If you are trying to break into tech and your applications keep disappearing into silence, this program is worth your attention.
Five hundred fully funded seats is not common. Do not miss it.
