Most AI training is aimed at end users. The gap I kept running into was different. Executives and managers were being pitched AI tools every week, free trials were turning into production deployments without anyone noticing, and “I used Copilot” was being treated as a complete answer. The people responsible for the work coming out of their teams did not have a framework for asking the right questions. So I built one.

Most internship programs start when a company has budget to spare and open roles waiting to be filled. I started mine during a downsizing, with a shrinking team and no management title, while most of the support work for four of our six manufacturing sites was landing on me.
