Questions, answered.
Who is JuniorRoute for?
High school students (13+), college students, and bootcamp or self-taught learners who want a clear, personal plan to land their first tech internship or job. You don't need experience to start.
How is my program personalized?
You take a short quiz about your grade, goals, skills, interests and how much time you have. Our AI then builds a roadmap around you: which career path fits, which flagship projects to build, who to connect with, which internships to target, and how to prep for interviews. It updates as you make progress.
What career paths do you cover?
More than 100 roles across 13 areas: software development, web and design, data, AI and machine learning, cybersecurity, cloud, IT support, QA, product and project management, customer-facing tech, technical writing, hardware and emerging tech, and leadership.
Is it free?
Yes, you can start for free. The quiz, your starter roadmap, the career library and basic trackers are free. JuniorRoute Pro ($19/month or $149/year) unlocks full project roadmaps, unlimited AI mock interviews, AI resume and outreach tools, portfolio reviews and priority access to mentorship and referrals.
I'm under 18. Can I use JuniorRoute?
Yes, if you're 13 or older. Students aged 13 to 17 need a parent or guardian's consent before upgrading to Pro or joining mentorship, and we use stricter privacy defaults for minors. JuniorRoute is not available to children under 13.
Do you guarantee an internship?
No one honest can guarantee that. We give you a focused plan, real tools and feedback, and access to people in the industry, so your odds go up dramatically compared with figuring it out alone.
How do mentorship and referrals work?
We're building a network of people working in tech who offer 1:1 mentorship, portfolio reviews and referrals to Pro members. It's rolling out in waves. Pro members get priority access as each wave opens.
Your plan takes 4 minutes to build.
Free to start. No credit card. Built around your grade, goals and schedule.
