- Currently enrolled in an undergraduate program at an accredited Canadian university/college in Information Systems/Computer Science.
- Recent experience working with Copilot agents, Copilot Studio, and/or AI agents, including hands-on exposure building or enhancing agents.
- Recent experience building agents (e.g., developing, configuring, or improving existing agent capabilities).
- Strong attention to detail and organization skills.
- Excellent communication skills in English (both written and verbal).
- A self-starter with the ability to take initiative and think critically to seek out information and solutions independently.
- Experience working independently, as well as in partnership with other team members.
