AI4ALL, a national nonprofit committed to ensuring AI benefits humanity and fostering a more inclusive, human-centered discipline, has announced new support from Indeed, the world’s #1 job site and a global job matching and hiring platform. The collaboration will strengthen AI4ALL’s Ignite program and a new early career initiative that the organization will pilot this year. Together, AI4ALL and Indeed will expand access to technical training, mentorship, and career-readiness resources for college students and early-career talent, including those from historically underrepresented backgrounds in AI.
“Ignite was created to meet students at a critical moment when curiosity about AI needs to turn into confidence, skills, and real opportunity,” said Bo Young Lee, CEO of AI4ALL. “Indeed is in the business of helping people get jobs, and so are we. Support from Indeed enables us to deepen that work while launching a new early-career program to help bridge the gap between education and the workforce. Together, these efforts move us closer to an AI ecosystem that reflects the diversity of the communities it serves.”
“At Indeed, our mission is to help people get jobs, and that means supporting pathways that lead to opportunity,” said Chi-Chao Chang, GVP of Engineering at Indeed. “AI4ALL’s Ignite program and its new early-career initiative help students and early-career learners build the skills and confidence to thrive as jobs evolve—strengthening the pipeline of AI-native talent prepared for the future.”
The new early career program will build on AI4ALL’s existing curriculum and partnerships to provide participants with applied learning experiences, professional networks, and exposure to real-world AI use cases, helping prepare the next generation of responsible AI practitioners and leaders.
To date, AI4ALL education has reached over 8,000 students, with many going on to secure higher education degrees and roles with recognized businesses and organizations.
One of AI4ALL’s Changemakers, Aarzu Gupta, a machine learning engineer for Apple, said of AI4ALL: “AI4ALL was truly the launchpad to my confidence in my career,” Gupta said. “I definitely do not think I would be where I am right now without the opportunities it gave me or without the network it gave me.”
AI4ALL has long been recognized as a trailblazer in responsible AI and preparing the next generation of AI leaders. The organization has inspired industry-wide conversations about the importance of equity and responsibility in the future of work.
