Join John Tansill from SkillStorm to learn about 2 excellent opportunities for tech students that involve paid AI training and work with top federal and Fortune 100 clients. See program details below.

This event is in 2 parts. Feel free to join one or both:

  • 12-1 p.m. Overview of the 2 programs and their eligibility requirements.

Pizza and beverages.

  • 1-2 p.m. - John will stay to answer questions and talk 1:1 with students or in small groups.

Programs Offered By SkillStorm:

1. TechForce By Design

Screened by SkillStorm and the client company, selected candidates will enter a cohort for 12-14 weeks of tech training, based on the requirements of the client. The training can lead to certifications in software development, cybersecurity, cloud, data, AI, MML, and others. You will then work with the client to solve their tech challenges, working in collaboration with your cohort at SkillStorm. Communication skills are essential as you will be client-facing throughout this role.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS:

  • 1-3 years of tech experience including software development & programming. (1 year can be satisfied with 12 months of internship experience in a tech field.)
  • Available for potential relocation
  • Due to federal contract requirements, candidates must possess U.S. citizenship and be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance.

2. Forward Deployed Engineers (FDE)

Selected individuals are paid through their 6 weeks of tech training, then deployed to federal and Fortune 100 clients where they are embedded to build AI-powered solutions. Continuous mentorship, training and certification help build your capacity and your value to clients throughout your career. AI experience is not a criteria for selection but these skills will be built as you train and develop.

ELIGIBILITY REQUIREMENTS:

  • Best for Master's students and alumni, as 3-5 years of experience in a tech field is required
  • Available for potential relocation
  • Due to federal contract requirements, candidates must possess U.S. citizenship and be eligible to obtain and maintain a U.S. Security Clearance
