Build real AI. Learn from leading AI Engineers. Launch your career in Applied AI.
V2 AI is building Australia’s next generation of AI Engineering talent.
We’re looking for ambitious technology students and recent graduates who want to go beyond learning about AI and start building with it.
The V2 AI Engineering Graduate Program is a hands-on, immersive program designed to give emerging engineers practical experience building real-world Agentic AI solutions under the guidance of V2 AI’s AI Engineering experts.
This isn't a traditional graduate program where you'll spend your time observing from the sidelines.
You'll build. You'll experiment. You'll present. And you'll have the opportunity to prove what you can do.
What you'll doThroughout the program, you will:
- Build a working Agentic AI solution to solve a real-world business problem
- Learn how to design and build AI agents that can perceive, reason and act
- Develop practical skills in prompt architecture and behavioural specification
- Work with function and tool calling
- Explore context and state management
- Apply Retrieval Augmented Reasoning (RAG)
- Build AI guardrails and constraint enforcement
- Learn agent evaluation and observability
- Design human-in-the-loop workflows
- Present your solution, architecture and engineering decisions to V2 AI mentors
- Receive feedback and support from experienced AI Engineers throughout the program
As part of the program, you'll receive access to Claude learning materials and certification support.
You'll have the opportunity to work towards the:
Claude Certified Architect – Foundations (CCA-F)
You'll also complete V2 AI's hands-on White Belt Applied AI Engineering Project, putting your new skills into practice by building and defending a working AI solution.
Learn from people building AI in the real worldYou'll have access to V2 AI mentors and a community of graduates completing the program alongside you.
You'll receive access to:
- V2 AI's Claude subscription and training material
- V2 AI AI Dojo material
- A private V2 AI Graduate Slack community
- V2 AI cloud tooling for the program
- Claude certification support
- Feedback from V2 AI AI Engineering mentors
- A community of other graduates building alongside you
You could be a great fit if you are:
- A university student or recent graduate studying or having completed a technology-related degree
- Comfortable with the foundations of software engineering
- Familiar with foundational cloud concepts in AWS or GCP
- Curious about Generative AI and Agentic AI
- Someone who learns by building, experimenting and solving problems
- Excited about developing a career in AI Engineering / Applied AI
You don't need to already be an AI Engineer.
We're looking for strong foundations, curiosity and the drive to build.
Program structureThe program can be completed as either:
4 weeks full-time intensive – approximately 120 hours
or
Up to 3 months self-paced program (part time) – approximately 120 hours
You'll begin with an in-person kick-off and tooling walkthrough before moving into the hands-on build.
At the end of the program, you'll present your working Agentic AI solution to a V2 AI mentor.
Graduates who meet the required standard will earn the V2 AI AI Practitioner Badge, with participants also having the opportunity to earn the Claude Certified Architect – Foundations certification.
Could this lead to a role at V2 AI?Yes.
We're using this program to identify some of the strongest emerging AI Engineering talent across APAC.
Rather than assessing graduates solely through a résumé or university transcript, we want to see what you can actually build and how you think as an engineer.
High-performing graduates may be considered for opportunities with V2 AI, including our Associate Forward Deployed Engineer – Applied AI pathway.
Any employment opportunity remains subject to V2 AI's standard multi-stage interview and selection process, and completion of the Graduate Program does not guarantee employment.
But if you want an opportunity to show us what you can do rather than simply tell us what's on your résumé, this is your chance.
Ready to build?If you're a technology student or graduate who wants practical experience in Agentic AI and the opportunity to learn from engineers working at the forefront of Applied AI, we'd love to hear from you.
Apply now to join the V2 AI Engineering Graduate Program.
Build something. Prove what you can do. Start your career in AI Engineering.
