Start your journey to shape tomorrow’s AI today
Program Description
trainX.ai (aka trainX) is making tomorrow’s technology accessible to metro Detroiters today. trainX is determined to grow and empower individuals of color to build up their technical and professional skill sets in the artificial intelligence industry. We are launching our 2nd artificial training cohort August 27th. Our focus will be to train, coach, and empower cohort members in AI technologies: Apache Spark, TensorFlow, Python, and Zeppelin. Our cohort will be intense and will take place over 8 weeks, we will meet 3 times a week at 3 hours a session with an additional weekly lab.
Our mission is to train individuals, together as a team, that learns not only technology but strengthens their problem-solving skills and their soft skills. Upon completion of AI training graduates will be highly skilled and marketable “AI pipeline engineers” for industry. An AI pipeline engineer creates the data sets that are used in artificial intelligence models as well as develops models. The industry is in great demand of this position and trainX will supply the best and the most capable.
Tuition for the cohort is $2,500, which is due by Aug 15th. The cost after Aug 15th is $2,900.
