Handshake AI Skills Studio
What it is
Free guided 'missions' that walk you through building a small, real AI project in under an hour — an assistant, an app or site, a data analysis, a design, an image or video piece, or a research task. Missions are grouped by career (AI for Teaching, AI in Marketing, AI in Sales, Entrepreneurship) and built with partner tools including OpenAI, Google, Figma, Notion, Replit, Vercel, Gamma, Clay, Slack and Lovable. You finish with a working project, and completed projects are shown on your Handshake profile so employers see the work rather than a resume line. Free to get started with a Handshake account.
Why I recommend it
This is the fastest honest answer to 'I have no AI experience on my resume' — an hour gets you something you actually built and can talk about in an interview. Three caveats worth saying out loud: Handshake says free to get started rather than free forever, so check the current terms on the page; the partner tools each have their own free limits, which is where a cost can appear; and a one-hour mission is a starting point, not evidence of depth, so be ready to explain what you would do differently with more time.
