Artificial Intelligence (AI) is revolutionising different industries, and having the right skills can set you apart in this competitive field. But for many, breaking into the AI industry can feel overwhelming. How do you gain the right skills? Where do you start if you do not have prior experience? And most importantly, how do you land a job in AI?
The Elixirr AI Academy is a free 5-week programme in Cape Town that helps you master the latest tools and best practices for working with data in AWS, including cloud architecture, data storage, AI, and prompt engineering. Everything you need to know for a thriving AI career! With a focus on real-world projects, industry-relevant skills, and expert mentorship, the Academy prepares you to build AI-driven solutions and jumpstart your career, even if you are coming from a non-AI background.
To give you a glimpse of how impactful this programme is, we spoke with Phila, a former participant who successfully transitioned from mechanical engineering to Data & AI through the Elixirr Academy.
From Engineering to Data & AI – A Transformational Experience
Coming from a mechanical engineering background, Phila had always been interested in programming but lacked AI experience. The Academy provided the perfect opportunity to transition into Data & AI.
Hands-On Learning with Real-world Applications
Elixirr AI Academy is not just about theory, it is about applying your skills to real-world projects. One of the standout projects involved building a chatbot from scratch. Phila developed a vacation planner AI that integrated a weather API, cost estimates, and user preferences to create personalised travel recommendations.
"It was exciting to see AI being used in practical and creative ways. This experience gave me the confidence to work on real-world AI solutions."
From Academy to Career Growth
The impact of the Academy does not end at graduation. After completing the programme, Phila secured a role as an Associate Engineer, leveraging the skills she gained to excel in real-world projects.
Elixirr AI Academy is more than just a learning experience, it is a career accelerator!
