JobScout is a free online learning platform that will teach you the basic Internet skills you need to find a job.

Step 1: Pick a user name

You need a unique identifier called a user name that you will use to keep track of your learning progress. It can be your real name, or a nick name, or anything you can easily remember. Please choose your username wisely. This is how you will be identified on JobScout, and it can't be changed later.

Step 2: Create a pass-phrase

To make sure that no one but you can access your account, you need to create a **pass-phrase**. We recommend picking three random words and stringing them together. That way, a computer can't guess it and it's easier for you to remember!

For example, I like trees, acorns and jumping. So my pass-phrase is **trees jumping acorns.** (hint: you can't use my pass-phrase, so please don't try)
