Valuable Opportunities
For those interested in experiential learning, workforce development and professional education, QI offers valuable opportunities to expand technical knowledge and build hands-on skills in demand by the region’s employers. Generous sponsors of these activities include the National Science Foundation and the State of California. In addition to QI programs and partnerships, QI offers courses as part of the UC San Diego Academic Internship Program (AIP) for undergraduates.
“QI is a great place for students to come, work, learn, train and be in a place on campus–in academia–that is as close to industry as I’ve found.”
