Live founding cohort · 8 weeks

Founding Cohort · 8 weeks live.Starting September 21, 2026.

The same 8-week founding-cohort curriculum — worksheets, résumés, certification sequencing, interview prep, and a 90-day application plan — paired with weekly live coaching and direct intros to cleared recruiters. Founding-member seats are limited; the cohort locks once full and the cohort lead runs it start to finish.

8-week curriculum

One working artifact per week, for eight weeks.

The cohort walks through the same eight-week program that ships inside the founding curriculum — each week produces a deliverable you can submit, ship, or run the day after it closes.

What’s included

Every artifact from the curriculum,plus the live-cohort layer.

The same five deliverables that ship inside the self-paced tier — résumé templates, the certification roadmap, interview preparation, the 90-day application plan — plus the live-cohort differentiator: weekly coaching calls and direct intros to cleared recruiters.

Included
USAJOBS federal résumé template

4–6 page federal résumé built around the GS-2210 narrative: announcement-specific header, per-duty supervisor, narrative accomplishments, explicit KSA response block.

Included
Defense-prime résumé variant

2-page cleared-prime résumé: clearance on top, acronym-heavy skill band, scope-led bullets, prior service compressed — written from the same underlying record as your federal version.

Included
Microsoft · VMware · CompTIA certification roadmap

A sequenced path through the certs cleared-staffing firms and federal GS panels ask for, mapped to your target GS grade and the 90-day exam window inside the cohort.

Included
Federal + cleared technical interview prep

Question banks for the federal panel and the cleared technical panel, plus a mock-interview cadence — including how to talk about clearances without over-disclosing.

Included
90-day federal + defense-contractor application plan

A week-by-week sprint with USAJOBS filters, veteran-preference scoring, USA Staffing submission queue, and direct clearance-aware recruiter intros — shipping the morning the cohort ends.

Included
Weekly cohort coaching calls (the differentiator)

One live call per cohort week, plus 1:1 intake and exit conversations with the cohort lead. The coaching cadence is the live layer — the artifacts are the same as self-paced.

Who runs the cohort

A real GS-2210 specialist, not a teaching team.

Your cohort lead

A 25-year Army Signal NCO running the cohort himself.

The founding cohort isn’t delegated to a teaching team. Johnnie Pippin, the Musterbridge founder, leads every weekly call, runs the 1:1 intake and exit conversations, and brings the same federal and cleared-recruiter intros he used on his own GS transition.

Founding-member rate

The discounted rate the cohort never repeats.

In exchange, founding members commit to a documented outcome and structured feedback across the eight weeks. After founding seats close, the cohort re-opens at the target program price — the early-bird rate is not repeated.
