Who This Is For

Ideal Apprentices

You do not need to be a programmer. We’re looking for:

Builders, creatives, organizers, community leaders
People excited about AI, but unsure where to start
Those serious about Black wealth, ownership, and legacy
High initiative, coachable, reliable (“show up” people)

What You’ll Learn

How to use AI tools to research, write, brainstorm, and create offers
Prompt engineering for content, funnels, and campaigns
Basic tracking: links, clicks, engagement, and simple analytics
How AI ties into tokens, rewards, and long-term community value

 Accessibility: Our long-term vision is to make the Apprenticeship tuition-free or low-cost, funded by Program Sponsors and partners — so cost
      never blocks talent. 

How The Apprenticeship Works

Orientation & Onboarding
You’ll be introduced to Black Mall of America, Black Mall Tokens (BMT), the AI Club, and our 20-year roadmap. We’ll help you set up basic tools and accounts so you can work comfortably.

Core Skills: Prompts, Funnels & Flows
You learn how to use AI to brainstorm ideas, write scripts, create content, and build simple funnels that drive people to key pages like Content-Summary.html and the AI Club overview.

Real Projects · Real Stakes
Apprentices work in small teams on live campaigns: promoting tokens, inviting new partners, helping test Black Game Show challenges, and supporting Tokenize Your Legacy awareness.

Earn While You Learn
We explore ways for Apprentices to earn Black Mall Tokens (BMT) for measurable, documented work — such as content created, traffic driven, or partners activated (pilot programs; subject to updates and regulations).

Graduation & Next Steps
Successful Apprentices are invited to return as mentors, project leads, or trainers — helping the next wave while potentially earning ongoing recognition and rewards.

Schedule & Location

Our initial chapter is based in Menlo Park, California, with a blend of in-person labs and remote-friendly work sessions.

Duration: 6-month cohorts
Weekly cadence: 2 sessions per week · 2 hours each
Format: Live instruction, hands-on build time, and homework
Tools: AI assistants, prompt libraries, internal checklists

Over time, our goal is to replicate this model in other cities and HBCU-adjacent communities — powered by Black Mall Tokens, sponsors, and partner programs.

How Apprentices Earn Tokens

Black Mall Tokens (BMT) are designed as the native reward engine across the ecosystem. Subject to applicable rules and regulations, we plan to reward Apprentices for real contributions, not hype:

Helping publish and share content that drives traffic to key pages
Recruiting new qualified Apprentices, mentors, or partners
Supporting pilots for Black Game Show Startup and related shows
Assisting with documentation, FAQs, and internal process playbooks

 Note: Token rewards are educational and experimental in early phases
      and are not a guarantee of income, employment, or financial return. We
      are committed to transparency and compliance as the ecosystem grows.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need to be “good with computers”?

No. If you can follow simple instructions, type, and are willing to learn, we can work with you. Curiosity and reliability matter more than technical background.

Is this a job or guaranteed employment?

No. This is a training and work-study style Apprenticeship. Our goal is to prepare you for future roles, ventures, and opportunities — inside and outside Black Mall of America. Any paid roles will be clearly announced and separate from the Apprenticeship itself.

How much does it cost?

Our vision is to keep this program as affordable as possible and eventually scholarship-driven, supported by Program Sponsors. Exact tuition, if any, may vary by cohort and will always be stated clearly before you commit.

Can I participate remotely?

We are designing the program so that core content and projects can be accessed online, even while we pilot in-person labs in Menlo Park. Over time, we aim to support more fully remote paths.
