About the Internship

Our "secret sauce” is that we’re with you at every step of the GAIP Journey

 

The Global Academic Internship Programme (GAIP) with the NUS School of Computing and Amazon Web Services (AWS) brings the rigorous, collaborative, action-learning experience of our in-person internship in the NUS Singapore campus. Over 3 weeks, you will learn and work with a global team of curious learners and tech innovators carefully selected by Corporate Gurukul to build and deliver value through innovation.

 

GAIP is a hands-on, short-term academic internship conducted by Corporate Gurukul, in association with and certified by the NUS School of Computing and Amazon Web Services (AWS) at the NUS. GAIP enables engineering undergraduates from universities and institutes of higher learning in Asia to level up by pursuing their passion and interest through internships and project-based learning in Artificial Intelligence, Data Analytics, Big Data, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and IoT (Internet of Things).

 

Internship on ‘Big Data Analytics Using Deep Learning’ as part of GAIP focuses on and is focused on hands-on real-world projects. 90% of our alumni have polled that 80% of the curriculum is new and aligned to MS abroad or research careers in Data Science and AI.

 

GAIP is a key component in CG’s Global Strategy which focuses on shaping the future of education, learning and creating global empathetic leaders.
