Apprenticely is working with our company partner, the Simporter to add an AI Insights Operations Analyst Intern to their team in Bentonville, Arkansas!   Our Apprenticely Internship Program is a three-month program that places selected candidates with employers across Arkansas in IT positions to gain experience under the guidance of a professional mentor/IT support team. Internships are designed as an on-ramp to an IT career and can roll into full-time positions based on employer demand.   About Simporter: Simporter is an AI company that helps leading brands identify emerging trends and invent new products to satisfy consumer needs.
