✨ Program breakdown:
- This program is a mix of live and recorded virtual sessions to share key tips, resources, and networking opportunities to land your next internship, co-op, or full-time job. Not quite a class, not quite an internship - it's a pre-internship!
- Each week, you and the cohort of students will participate in a weekly virtual session to kick things off. Complete asynchronous recorded videos and written lessons to prepare for individual assignments and your team workshop (with 3-4 other students from across the country).
- We'll also be joined by mentors from across industries & companies in HR roles, technical roles, and more. Topics will include insights into working at a startup, landing a job at Company X (depending on the speaker), being a successful intern, and more!
🤖 Practical AI - what you'll learn:
- The current push toward AI across nearly every industry has many people, especially those entering the workforce, on edge about what comes next. As of early 2023, 86% of working professionals believe they will need some form of upskilling in the AI space. This means as young professionals, you have the opportunity to develop your own understanding and usage of today's AI tools, so you're prepared for the jobs of the future.
- Learn the basics of AI & Machine Learning terminology.
- Use and practice your skills using large language models (LLM), like ChatGPT, the foundation for many software tools used at companies today.
- Complete project-based work using practical tools changing many industries - to name a few:
* Crucible - a tool that converts videos to blogs, twitter threads, and searchable documents from a single upload.
* Uizard - a design tool that creates mobile apps, websites, and wireframes in minutes.
* Spline - design 3D objects, animations, and models using prompts. A game changer for anyone in the engineering or 3D model space.
