ALL Ignite is a national accelerator that equips college students with the tools to land their first AI/ML internship. This program consists of a Portfolio Project component and a Career Readiness component, although the Portfolio Project Instructor will only be responsible for the Portfolio Project. In the Portfolio Project, students will acquire practical experience in the various stages of AI solution development, encompassing data exploration, preparation, model training, testing, deployment, and the consideration of responsible AI practices.

• Provide feedback on student work, tracking student progress, and providing timely interventions to increase students’ likelihood of success.
• Collaborate closely with a Portfolio Project Student Coordinator (SC) and meet (virtually) every week to coordinate office hours, synchronous sessions, grading, communication with students, and tracking student progress.
• Communicate weekly with AI Project Leads to identify student needs and coordinate timely outreach.
• Foster a supportive and inclusive virtual classroom environment where all students feel seen and encouraged.

• Participate in professional development (PD) activities including Portfolio Project Instructor Onboarding sessions and 3-4 training workshops throughout the semester (dates and times will be communicated to the Portfolio Project Instructor in advance).
• Participate in biweekly debriefing sessions with the Lead Portfolio Project Instructors.
• Manage your Portfolio Project Student Coordinator and AI Project Leads to ensure all…
