Kickstart Your Career in Applied AI

Are you curious about how artificial intelligence is transforming real businesses? Do you want hands‑on experience building AI tools that make a measurable impact? VUKA Group is looking for an AI Enablement Intern to join our innovative VUKAi function. This is not a theoretical or research‑based internship – you will work on real projects, helping design and deploy AI‑powered solutions across marketing, sales, and operations. You’ll collaborate directly with experienced professionals and gain exposure to a live AI transformation program within a dynamic, fast‑paced business environment.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Build and refine AI agents and automated workflows using platforms like Microsoft 365 Copilot and Claude
• Support AI tool implementation across the business (including ClickUp AI, Canva AI, and more)
• Help create prompt libraries, SOPs, and reusable AI processes
• Research emerging AI tools and identify practical use cases for the business
• Develop prototypes and proof‑of‑concept AI solutions using low‑code tools
• Document AI processes for both technical and non‑technical teams
• Assist with tracking AI adoption, usage, and performance metrics
• Collaborate with cross‑functional teams to solve operational challenges using AI
• Participate in internal AI training and knowledge‑sharing sessions

What We’re Looking For

• Final‑year student or recent graduate in Information Systems, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field
• Strong interest in applied AI and hands‑on experimentation with tools like ChatGPT, Copilot, Claude, or Gemini
• Comfortable learning new systems and working with digital tools
• Problem‑solving mindset with a willingness to test, iterate, and improve
• Strong communication skills with the ability to explain ideas clearly
• Self‑motivated and able to manage time effectively

Bonus Points If You Have

• Experience building AI agents, custom GPTs, or automation workflows
• Exposure to Microsoft 365 tools (SharePoint, Teams, Copilot Studio)
• Familiarity with automation tools (Power Automate, Zapier, Make, etc.)
• Basic coding skills (Python, JavaScript)
• Experience with low‑code platforms (Replit, Bubble, Lovable, etc.)
• Interest in how AI applies to business operations, marketing, or events

Why Join VUKA Group?

At VUKA Group, we don’t just talk about innovation — we build it. You’ll be joining a purpose‑driven events and media company connecting industries across Africa, while working at the forefront of an active AI enablement programme. Our culture is built on:

• Curiosity and continuous learning
• Experimentation and innovation
• Accountability and real impact

This is an opportunity to gain practical, career‑shaping experience in applied AI and digital transformation — setting you up for future roles in AI operations, automation, or tech‑enabled business strategy.
