Welcome to the AI Consulting Micro Internship Program

Hello, a very warm welcome! We're delighted to have you join us on this learning journey, developed in collaboration with the University of Wolverhampton, Springpod, and Consulting Partners. This is your chance to take a first step into the world of consulting, developing core skills like problem solving and strategic thinking, while exploring major trends reshaping industries, including AI (Artificial Intelligence).

About This Programme

This Micro Internship is designed to support and empower you, and others like you, as you navigate your career journeys. We believe this will create opportunities, unlock potential, and help build a future where technology is a force for good and accessible to everyone.

AI & The Future of Work

Generative AI is already reshaping how we work—from automating repetitive tasks to enhancing research, writing, and problem solving. It helps teams move faster and think bigger. This Micro Internship will help you confidently use and lead with AI. This is not just about using the technology, but understanding how to apply it responsibly and effectively.

The Consulting Mindset

Remember—the aim of great consultancy is to combine deep industry expertise with cutting-edge technology to help clients work better, grow faster, and deliver products and services more effectively. Consultants are a diverse community of problem solvers, technologists, strategists, and creatives working together to deliver real impact for business and society.

By the end of this Micro Internship, we hope this will be you!
