Asian Media Access (AMA), with funding from the City of Minneapolis, is proud to announce its inaugural Generative AI and Digital Marketing Training/Internship Program at Feb 17, 2025.  This 13-week, free online program offers six hours of training per week, equipping participants with the skills needed to thrive in high-demand IT jobs or launch their own freelancing businesses in AI and digital marketing. Participants will also receive stipends and support services to ensure their success. Thanks to partnerships with East Side Neighborhood Services and the Asian American Business Resilience Network, stipends are available for 25 qualified participants.

This program has already garnered significant interest, with 56 applications received within just two weeks. While the virtual format allows all applicants to join, only 25 will receive stipends. The curriculum covers a wide range of topics, including overview of generative AI tools (such as ChatGPT, Dallie, Nightcafe and Pika), social media management tools, WordPress/web development, along with couple sessions on life skills and financial literacy. Participants will also engage in hands-on internship office hours, where they will develop their own AI portfolios, including images, videos, postcards, and infographics, culminating in a final eMagazine showcase.

This initiative is designed to empower individuals with the technical and entrepreneurial skills needed to succeed in today’s digital economy. By focusing on generative AI and digital marketing, AMA is addressing the growing demand for tech-savvy professionals while fostering innovation and economic resilience in the community. Join us in shaping the future of work and innovation in Minneapolis! For more information, please contact info@amamedia.org, and www.amamedia.org.
