Here's the situation: You want a remote job. But every listing wants "2+ years experience." How do you get experience if no one will hire you?
The answer: companies that train you.
These aren't internships. These aren't unpaid "opportunities." These are real jobs where you get hired first, then they pay you while teaching you everything you need to know.
I've compiled 12 companies actively hiring remote workers in February 2026 that offer paid training programs. Most require zero prior experience.
How this works:
- You apply and get hired
- Company pays you during 2-6 weeks of training
- You start working with full support
- No experience required for most roles
1. TTEC — Customer Service Representatives
Training: 2-4 weeks paid training
Pay: $15-18/hour during and after training
Schedule: Full-time, various shifts available
Requirements: High school diploma, reliable internet
TTEC is one of the largest remote employers in customer service. They hire thousands of work-from-home agents and provide comprehensive paid training. You'll learn their systems, products, and customer service techniques before taking your first call.
Why it's great for beginners: They expect you to know nothing. Their training program is designed for people with zero customer service experience.

2. Concentrix — Technical Support Agents
Training: 3-6 weeks paid training
Pay: $14-20/hour depending on client
Schedule: Full-time with benefits
Requirements: Basic computer skills, good communication
Concentrix handles customer support for major tech companies (Apple, Microsoft, etc.). Their paid training covers both soft skills and technical troubleshooting. You'll graduate feeling confident about helping customers with tech issues.
Pro tip: Mention any personal tech experience in your application — even helping family with their phones counts.
3. Liveops — Insurance Customer Service
Training: Self-paced certification (paid)
Pay: $15-25/hour (performance-based)
Schedule: Flexible — you choose your hours
Requirements: Must pass background check
Liveops is unique — you work as an independent contractor with complete schedule flexibility. They pay you to complete their certification programs, then you can work whenever you want. Perfect if you need flexibility around kids, school, or another job.
Best for: Parents, students, or anyone who needs non-traditional hours.
4. Transcom — Multilingual Support
Training: 2-4 weeks paid training
Pay: $16-22/hour (higher for bilingual)
Schedule: Full-time with shift options
Requirements: Fluent English (second language = bonus pay)
Speak Spanish, French, German, or another language? Transcom pays premium rates for bilingual agents. Their training covers everything from systems to cultural communication styles.
Salary boost: Bilingual agents typically earn 15-25% more than English-only positions.
5. UnitedHealth Group — Healthcare Support
Training: 4-8 weeks comprehensive training
Pay: $17-23/hour + benefits
Schedule: Full-time with healthcare benefits from day one
Requirements: High school diploma, computer proficiency
Healthcare is one of the most stable industries for remote work. UnitedHealth trains you on medical terminology, insurance processes, and HIPAA compliance. After training, you'll help members navigate their healthcare benefits.
Career path: Many people start here and move into healthcare administration, claims processing, or medical coding (all remote-friendly).

6. Amazon — Customer Service Associates
Training: 2-3 weeks paid virtual training
Pay: $16-19/hour + benefits
Schedule: Full-time and part-time available
Requirements: 6 months customer service OR 6 months Amazon experience
Amazon's virtual customer service team works from home handling customer inquiries about orders, returns, and Prime memberships. Training is thorough and fully remote.
Insider tip: If you don't have customer service experience, work a seasonal Amazon warehouse job first. That counts as "Amazon experience" for these roles.
7. CVS Health — Pharmacy Support
Training: 3-5 weeks paid training
Pay: $16-21/hour + comprehensive benefits
Schedule: Full-time with health insurance
Requirements: High school diploma, typing 35+ WPM
CVS hires remote pharmacy technician assistants and customer service reps. No pharmacy experience needed — they train you on prescription processes, insurance billing, and customer service protocols.
Why I recommend this: Healthcare experience on your resume opens doors to higher-paying roles later.
8. Williams-Sonoma — Sales & Service
Training: 2 weeks paid product training
Pay: $15-18/hour + employee discounts
Schedule: Seasonal and year-round positions
Requirements: Enthusiasm for home/kitchen products
If you love cooking or home decor, Williams-Sonoma trains you on their products and sales techniques. You'll help customers choose cookware, furniture, and home goods from Pottery Barn, West Elm, and Williams-Sonoma brands.
Perk: Serious employee discounts on quality home products.
9. TurboTax (Intuit) — Tax Support
Training: 4-6 weeks comprehensive tax training
Pay: $17-25/hour (higher for credentialed)

Requirements: None — they train you completely
You don't need to know anything about taxes. TurboTax's training program teaches you tax basics, their software, and how to help customers file returns. It's seasonal work, but many people return year after year.
Earnings potential: During peak tax season, overtime is usually available. Some agents earn $3,000-5,000/month working full-time hours.

Pay: $19-24/hour + bonuses + full benefits

Career growth: Claims adjusters can earn $50-70K+ after a few years. This is a real career path, not just a job.

How to Get Hired for Paid Training Jobs
These positions are competitive because they're entry-level friendly. Here's how to stand out:
1. Apply Early in the Week
Most hiring managers review applications Monday-Wednesday. Apply Sunday night or Monday morning to be in the first batch they see.
2. Emphasize Reliability
Companies investing in training you want to know you'll stick around. Mention:
- Your dedicated home office setup
- Your reliable internet connection
- Any long-term commitment you've maintained (volunteering, previous job tenure)
3. Show You're Trainable
They don't expect experience — they expect willingness to learn. Include:
- Times you learned new software or systems quickly
- Online courses or certifications you've completed
- Examples of adapting to new situations
4. Nail the Phone Screen
Most paid training jobs have a phone interview. They're checking:
- Can you communicate clearly?
- Do you sound professional?
- Are you enthusiastic about the opportunity?

Why Paid Training Jobs Are Worth It
Some people dismiss entry-level customer service jobs. That's a mistake. Here's why these are actually golden opportunities:
You Get Paid to Learn Skills
Most skills that lead to better jobs cost money to learn. Coding bootcamps: $10-15K. Certifications: hundreds to thousands. These companies pay YOU to develop marketable skills.
Remote Experience Compounds
Once you have 6-12 months of remote work on your resume, doors open. You're no longer "risky" — you're proven. That customer service role becomes your stepping stone to project management, operations, or specialized support roles paying $50-80K.
Benefits Start Early
Most companies on this list offer health insurance, 401k, and PTO from day one. That's harder to find with "gig" work or freelancing.
