The pilot programme will bring together graduates, employers and industry professionals to build skills for a future-focused workforce.
Tech Industry Alliance and RDI Hub have announced the launch of the Graduate AI Launchpad pilot, which is a new programme designed to prepare graduates, employers and industry professionals in the South-West, for an AI enabled workplace.
The inaugural programme, which aims to further expand across Cork and Kerry in the future, welcomed the first cohort this week to the RDI Hub in Killorglin. The four-week model will give graduates the opportunity to work on real industry challenges, learn from experienced professionals and build the confidence to apply AI in practical workplace settings.
Participants will work alongside industry mentors, collaborate on practical projects and hear from experienced speakers before presenting their own work at a showcase event upon the conclusion of the programme. Graduate AI Launchpad is built around practical learning, giving participants the opportunity to develop skills that will likely apply to future careers.
The first group of graduates involved were nominated by Astellas, Aspengrove, Fexco, Stingray Labs, TLI Group, ViClarity and MTU and are representative of a range of disciplines, such as engineering, quantity surveying, business, psychology and technology.
