AI Consultant Programme: train and recruit your AI lead
Twelve weeks of work-study: one day a week in training with Smart Office Solutions, four days interning in your company on your real projects. You try it out, the intern grows, your processes get automated.
One day to learn, four days to apply
Each week, the intern attends one training day with Smart Office Solutions, then immediately applies what they have learned in your company, following an AI project roadmap defined with you.
- 12 training days (84 hours) over 12 weeks
- 48 days of hands-on work in the company, supervised by an internal tutor
- A capstone project: 3 to 5 processes automated at your company
- Progress review every 4 weeks between the company, the intern and SOS
Smarter recruitment, a delivered project
Rather than searching for an AI profile that is impossible to find, train one on your own processes and make an informed hiring decision.
Recruit risk-free
Three months to assess skills, soft skills and fit before offering a contract.
A profile trained on your processes
The intern learns on your tools, your documents and your constraints, not on generic cases.
Gains from the internship onwards
The capstone project produces real automations, measured in hours freed up.
Controlled costs
Training invoiced to the company; the training component is eligible for HRDC funding subject to conditions.
A secure framework
Tripartite agreement, AI usage charter and confidentiality rules from day one.
A go-to person for your teams
After the programme, the future AI lead trains and supports their colleagues.
Three modules, a final presentation on a real project
The content is based on the SOS AI Consultant Academy programme, adapted to the work-study rhythm.

Three parties, clear commitments
The company
Funds the training, appoints a tutor, assigns the tasks, pays the internship allowance and provides the workstation.
Smart Office Solutions
Delivers the 12 training days, sets the roadmap with you, runs follow-up reviews and the final assessment. Can shortlist candidates on request.
The intern
Attends the training, runs the capstone project, abides by the confidentiality charter and presents their results.
What you need to know before hosting an intern in Mauritius
Mauritian legislation provides no specific legal status for a company “internship”. Where the intern performs work for the company, the relationship may fall under employment law (notably the Workers' Rights Act 2019 and the Occupational Safety and Health Act 2005). We therefore recommend a written, transparent framework.
| Check-in | What we put in place |
|---|---|
| Agreement | Tripartite internship agreement (company, intern, SOS): 12-week duration, assignments, hours, training day, tutor, confidentiality, early termination terms. |
| Frequency | 1 day per week in training, 4 days in the company, within legal limits on working and rest time. |
| Allowance | Monthly allowance paid by the company. If the relationship qualifies as an employment relationship, the national minimum wage in force applies: we recommend aligning with it. |
| Protection | Safety induction, company insurance, suitable workstation, data access rules. |
| Leave & absences | Defined in the agreement, in line with applicable law. |
| Funding | Training invoiced to the company; the training part can be submitted to the HRDC (Training Grant), subject to eligibility and prior approval. |
| At the end | No obligation to hire; the company may offer the intern a contract (fixed-term or permanent). |
