In today’s data-driven and increasingly automated workplace, a strong foundation in data literacy is important for all job-seekers and advanced data science skills are in growing demand. Rapid advances in the overlapping field of artificial intelligence (AI) and, specifically, machine learning, also promise unlimited potential for problem-solving and innovation.
To help students explore careers in these high-need areas, QuantHub is proud to announce the launch of its 2024 Alabama Future of AI Internship Program, made possible with generous support from Innovate Alabama.
The summer internship program will place high school juniors and seniors from around the state into learning experiences at Alabama-based companies creatively using data to guide business decisions and address complex challenges. Representing a range of job sectors, participating employers will also be at the forefront of applied AI—providing interns a glimpse into cutting edge careers offering limitless possibility.
In addition to gaining practical work experience and mentoring, interns will:
-
- Build marketable data science skills in the AI-driven QuantHub learning platform
- Hear from researchers using data science and AI to address problems impacting Alabama
- Discuss data use, ethics, and legislation with business leaders and state policymakers
- Participate in professional development and academic advising sessions
- Network with a cohort of like-minded peers
Applications will be accepted until all positions are filled, but students are encouraged to apply early as candidate review and selection will begin February 1.
The internship session will span 8 weeks between June-July 2024 and most internships will allow hybrid or remote participation. Interns will receive a computer to use during the internship session.
Eligible applicants must meet the following criteria:
-
- US citizenship
- Current junior or senior enrolled in any Alabama high school
- At least 16 years of age by May 1, 2024
