What’s a Pre-Internship?

In the AI Pre-Internship Program, students will work with innovative employers and educators to develop hands-on learning experiences through capstone projects to prepare them for future career opportunities.

The program is designed to teach not only the digital skills students need to get noticed, but also the soft-skills—including project management and communication—necessary to be successful in today's workplace.

Provide a launchpad for your student’s career by helping them to explore careers in AI early and accelerate their readiness for full internships and future careers.

 

Take your First Steps in AI

AI is everywhere and is already changing the ways in which we live, work, and play. This program will introduce students to fundamental concepts as their work on progressive projects from real-world industry applications.

Progressive projects provide opportunities to build students’ AI skillset and confidence. By the end of the program students will have gained fundamental AI skills including prompt engineering, natural language processing, and a familiarity with common tools to start building their own chatbots—and more!

 

Industry Exposure and Opportunity

Throughout the program we will have a number of AI experts participate to provide real industry insights and context along with their own personal journeys in AI and Data Science.

Every week, students will work independently, leading up to a final capstone project which will help them display their AI experience and stand out for an internship in the future.

 

Participating Companies

Scaled Entelechy, a National Artificial Intelligence Institute award-winning AI company, builds leading-edge AI solutions across markets—including cybersecurity, automation, and education—and parterns with industry leaders to bring specialized AI technology to solve challenges facing industry and government.
