Generalist AI Trainer roles need no AI experience and are open to all majors; specialised graduate-level roles also exist. Matching is rolling, and invitations arrive by email. From their own programme page: no AI experience is required, and the published path is apply and verify your identity, get matched to a project, take the training, contribute, then get paid
What you need
US-based with valid work authorisation; SSN or ITIN required. F-1 students eligible for CPT or OPT may qualify; STEM OPT is NOT supported. Most roles want a Master's, PhD or postdoc, but their help centre says people without a formal degree who can demonstrate subject-matter expertise may be considered
How you get paid

identity verification is part of the application itself, not a later step
Worker costs
No upfront cost found — we searched their landing page plus the pricing/fees/FAQ/terms subtrees on 2026-08-25 and found no upfront-cost language. Not a guarantee of free.
You prove your skills first — build a verified profile, then work arrives by invitation. That is why this kind of work comes in bursts rather than steadily, and why there is no queue to join.
The rating of the app workers use — never the customer app. Each store is its own witness; we show both and never average them. The count is what makes a score mean something. Click a listing to see the number as it stands today.

Taking new people read from the company's own page
debt-paydown (owner arc 2026-08-26): RE-SOURCED FROM UNKNOWN: their own page, fetched this arc, carries an open application flow — the unknown resolved to taking-people on the source's own surface
Vehicle class read from the company's own page
category-vehicle-cascade (owner ruling 2026-08-25): CATEGORY DEFINITION — remote work is performed remotely — by definition, no vehicle is involved in doing it. Encoded at the category level by owner ruling; the record's own page remains the authority for everything else it states.
Vehicle needed read from the company's own page
vehicle-model-phase2 (owner arc 2026-08-25): restates this record's category-definition vehicle encode under the five-state model — the work is remote, listing-and-shipping, or hosting your own asset; no transport is part of doing it (the vehicle_tier claim remains the underlying source)
What it is read from the company's own page
debt-paydown (owner arc 2026-08-26): the value's own internal citation names the provider surface it came from (a later arc wrote sourced content into a field whose claim level never flipped); that surface was fetched again this arc — the receipt is in the value and the fetch is dated 2026-08-26
What workers rate the app reported by someone else — not the company's words
Apple App Store listing for "Handshake: Jobs & AI work" and Google Play listing for "Handshake Jobs & New Careers" — the store is the witness, not the company; checked 2026-09-02
What you need unproven — carried from an older research method and not yet re-read from a source
Inherited at the v8 migration from the record's evidence class (Verified-official). This claim does not yet say where IT came from; the record does.
