Hyderabad, Feb 6: iHub-Data at IIIT Hyderabad has announced the launch of a six-month intensive training program in Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning (AI/ML), aimed at upskilling early-career women engineers. Designed for women graduates who have completed their engineering degrees in the last few years, the program targets participants from Hyderabad and nearby regions seeking advanced knowledge and research-oriented skills in AI and ML.
The program combines strong theoretical grounding with hands-on tutorials and applied learning experiences. Classes will be held every Monday at the IIIT Hyderabad campus, offering participants a collaborative and immersive academic environment. The curriculum spans both classical and contemporary AI/ML techniques, equipping learners with problem-solving skills relevant to industry as well as research applications.
Speaking on the initiative, Dr C K Raju, Head of Educational Programs at iHub-Data, noted that the continuing education programs offered by the hub have seen strong outcomes in the past. “This program has been carefully structured to support young women engineers in achieving their career goals by integrating theory with practice. It enables participants to address complex challenges using advanced AI and ML techniques in an accessible and effective manner,” he said. He added that the all-women cohort is intended to foster greater opportunities for gender equity across technology-driven workplaces.
The training program will commence in March 2026 and run for a duration of six months. Upon successful completion, select participants will be offered a three-month online internship with iHub-Data, providing exposure to real-world projects and applied research.
