About The Position

Rex Moore is seeking two motivated, tech-curious high school students or recent graduates to join our Summer 2026 AI Internship Program. This is a paid, eight-week internship embedded within the Information Technology Department. The program is structured in two phases: a three-week AI foundations and training phase, followed by a five-week applied project phase in which each intern designs and builds a working AI-powered tool for a RexMoore business department. Interns will gain hands-on experience with industry-leading AI platforms including Claude and Microsoft Copilot, learn practical prompt engineering and introductory Python programming, and develop real-world skills in applying technology to solve business problems. Throughout the program, interns will also support the IT team with day-to-day operations. The internship concludes with a formal presentation of each intern’s AI project to company leadership. Prior AI experience is not required. What matters most is genuine curiosity, a willingness to learn, and a commitment to doing meaningful work in a professional environment.
