    Work as an AI Research and Prompt Engineering Intern. The emphasis is on rigor: designing prompts that hold up, and catching the places where AI output quietly fails.

    What you'll do

    • Design and optimize structured prompts for research and business scenarios
    • Compare prompt variations for output quality, consistency and accuracy
    • Detect AI hallucinations, biases and unsupported claims using evaluation frameworks
    • Cross-validate AI content against credible sources and industry standards
    • Build reproducible AI-assisted research workflows and document each iteration
    • Present structured professional research outputs using AI tools

    Ideal if you're heading toward prompt engineering, AI research, business analysis or responsible AI.

    My favorite part of this internship was gaining insight into LLMs, from their functionality to their implementation. It was a valuable experience.

    The weekly meetings were good and educative. I did learn new tools to use in analysis and new methods too.
    Purity M. · Nairobi, Kenya
    I liked the weekly report feedback that really helped to identify the key areas needed to be improved. I learned several things new, documentation enhancement, quick chart making using prompts.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Is there a scholarship attached to this internship?+

    No. This is a partner-sponsored program with no scholarship award. It's free to take part, and you still earn the badge, the certificate and your Skills Track Record.

    Do I need a technical or AI background?+

    No. The work is about structured thinking, verification and judgment, comparing prompt variations, catching hallucinations, checking claims against credible sources. No coding required.

    What actually happens in the first week?+

    Day one you're placed in a team and given the brief, the materials and a named mentor. By the end of week one you'll have agreed how your team works together and produced your first deliverable. You'll know what's expected of you, and when, before you start.

    My teammates will be in other time zones. How does that work?+

    Teams are grouped into compatible time zones wherever numbers allow, and the work is built to be done asynchronously, shared documents, recorded updates, and a small number of live checkpoints scheduled with your team.

    Most learners tell us the global team was the best part. It's also the part that needs the most coordination, so we plan for it rather than leaving it to chance.

    Do I need experience to apply?+

    No. These are entry points, not tests, the tools are taught as part of the program. Around a quarter of learners tell us they used a tool for the first time here.

    Is it really free?+

    Yes. No application fee, no participation fee, and no charge for your certificate or badge. Programs are funded by the sponsoring university or partner organization.

    Is this paid work, and does it lead to a job?+

    It isn't paid employment and it doesn't guarantee a job. What it produces is a portfolio piece and a Skills Track Record, evidence of what you did, assessed through your work and your team's feedback, that you can show any employer.

    Can I take more than one?+

    Yes, and many people do, around one in ten learners come back for a second. Trainee level is the usual starting point, with Associate level as the step up.

    What do I get at the end?+

    A verified digital badge, a certificate of completion, and a Skills Track Record listing the capabilities you demonstrated. Associate-level programs also carry a letter of recommendation.
