Mobius and Sunway University to empower business and drive SME growth with internship program

Mobius Group and Sunway University MOU

Incorporating data science and AI into business strategy is not just about keeping up with technological trends; it is about using these powerful tools to gain a deeper understanding of businesses, which enables smarter, data-backed decision making, regardless of industry and size.

Data science and AI are powerful tools that can help SME gain a competitive advantage. They offer SME’s the ability to compete at a higher level, formulate better business strategies, streamline operations and enhance customer experiences. By incorporating these technologies, SME’s can open new growth opportunities, innovation and differentiation in the market. Even with limited resources, the right data strategies can provide SME’s with insights and stability which were once deemed privileged only to larger organisations.

Mobius Group Sdn Bhd, an innovative leader in data science and AI, recently launched its Mobius Internship Program in partnership with organizations from different industries and universities in Malaysia. This ambitious initiative aims to nurture the next generation of data professionals. This opportunity offers hands-on industry experience, mentorship from industry experts and the chance to contribute to real-world data challenges.

Leveraging talent from university partners, this program offers hand-picked university students with an experiential learning opportunity to gain industry experience. This program is open to students with a passion for data science and AI. Interns will engage in meaningful work across the analytics life cycle.

With the supervision and mentorship from Mobius professionals, the organisations and interns will gain invaluable experience and critical insights into how data science and AI  can be applied effectively in real-world scenarios. Beyond bridging the gap between classroom learning and applications, the program helps organisations in identifying its future hires and its talent development plans.

Selected interns will benefit from

  • Mentorship from experience data professionals
  • Technical and soft skills development
  • Real-world projects/challenges
  • Networking opportunities
