AI Apprentice Program
Real AI marketing skills that make the phone ring
Imagine your young adult becoming the person who actually makes phones ring for real local businesses using AI, proven marketing systems, and hands-on apprenticeship.
This is learn-by-doing, directly with Dennis Yu and Jack Wendt, inside a community of 400+ motivated young adults building real skills, real experience, and real income.
Trust and results
Why this program exists
Local service businesses are flooded with agencies that overcharge and underdeliver. We train young adults to be the opposite. This program turns motivated young people into dependable, measurable marketing operators who can get results for real local businesses.
What this program delivers (outcomes)
By the end of the year your young adult can:
Make the phone ring with paid and organic campaigns.
Rank local businesses on Google and improve local authority.
Produce short-form video content that converts.
Operate AI agents to scale execution and increase efficiency.
Run Dollar-a-Day ad tests that identify winners.
Fix bad SEO and identify fake agency tactics.
- Drives measurable revenue for a real client (often your business).
They don’t graduate because a calendar year passed.
They graduate when they can prove they can drive real leads at an acceptable cost per result.
