Become a local host

Bring Jobless Joe to your city.

“I trained the AI that took my job. Now it works for me.”

Run a free, 90-minute, hands-on AI Survival Bootcamp at your library, career center, coworking space or community room. You bring the room and the people. We bring the playbook, the promo kit, the registration page and Joe.

How it works

STEP 1

Apply

Tell us about you and your city. It takes five minutes.

A Jobless Joe admin reviews your application, usually within a few days.

STEP 3

Every event gets a quick review, then a shareable link.

STEP 5

Promote & run it

Use the promo kit and the 90-minute playbook. Check people in on the day.

STEP 6

Hand off

Attendees continue with the free 7-day bootcamp; you see what worked.

Who makes a good host

You don't need to be an AI expert. Good hosts are curious, patient with beginners, and connected to their community: career coaches, librarians, workforce staff, freelancers, people who've been through a layoff themselves. Run through the 7-day bootcamp first and you'll know more than you need.

Hosting is voluntary and independent. There are no fees to host and no franchise, licence or revenue arrangement at this stage.

Host guidelines

  • Events are free for attendees (paid tickets aren't available yet).
  • Never promise jobs, income or guaranteed results, out loud or in your promo.
  • Be honest about costs: the 7-day bootcamp is free, and some AI tools charge for usage. Say so before anyone pays for anything.
  • Use attendee details only to run your event. Don't add people to lists they didn't opt into.
  • Promote like a neighbor, not a spammer: follow each group's rules and don't mass-message people.
  • Keep it welcoming for beginners. No pressure, no hard sells, no crypto pitches.
  • Every event is reviewed by the Jobless Joe team before it goes live, and can be unpublished if it breaks these guidelines.
