Q: I'm already registered as unemployed with the Employment Agency. What happens next?

StartHer is the scholarship program offered by StackFuel (part of Multiverse).
We award 20 seats for our AI training courses, each valued at around 3,000 euros. Completely free for you.

You can choose to study either full-time or part-time, with set study hours in each case. No corporate partner. No catch. We fund the program ourselves because we believe that AI skills need to reach places where the education system hasn’t been able to take them so far.

For Whom

StartHer: You're just getting started.

You’ve completed your vocational training or college degree in the last two years and are still looking for your first real job. Your job applications aren’t getting anywhere, and you’re stuck in an internship or a part-time job. You want a qualification that sets you apart from others.

RestartHer: You're starting over.

You’ve taken at least a year off to care for your family or a loved one and want to return to your career. Many of your job applications are met with silence at first—or the question of whether you’re still up to date with the latest developments. You want a qualification that makes your return to the workforce impossible to overlook.

Requirement

You can apply if you

you live in Germany

You graduated within the last two years or took a break of at least one year for family or caregiving reasons

you are not registered with the Employment Agency or the Job Center as unemployed or a job seeker

You speak German at the B2 level

You have 4 weeks available for full-time training or 8 weeks for part-time training

Are you already unemployed or registered as a job seeker? In that case, you’re probably eligible for a training voucher, which means the Employment Agency will cover the full cost of the same training program with us. We’ll show you how:

Frequently Asked Questions

Will the continuing education cost me anything?

No. The training program is fully funded. There are no hidden costs and no obligations to StackFuel or Multiverse, either during or after the training program.

Do I need any prior knowledge of AI or programming?

No. You should definitely be comfortable using a computer and the Internet. Some prior experience with prompting can also be helpful, but we can adjust the course level to match your prior knowledge.

Can I apply if I currently have a part-time job or an internship?

Yes. The key point is that you haven't yet found a qualified position that matches your degree.

I'm on parental leave, but my employment contract is still in effect. Can I apply for a job?

Yes, if your break lasts at least one year and you want to return to skilled work.

I'm already registered as unemployed with the Employment Agency. What happens next?

In that case, you’re probably eligible for a training voucher, which means the Employment Agency will cover the full cost of the same training program with us. We’ll show you how: More About the Education Voucher.

How long does the training program last?

You'll study at set times—either full-time over 4 weeks or part-time over 8 weeks.

What happens to my data?

We use your information solely for the purpose of selecting scholarship recipients. You can find details in our Privacy Policy. If you submit a video, it will be viewed only by the people who decide on the award.

Will I have to do anything for StackFuel later on?

No. We ask scholarship recipients if they would like to share their stories to encourage other women. This is voluntary and not a requirement.

Who makes the decision?

A small team at StackFuel. We evaluate every application based on the criteria listed above.
