Mentor Needed for Job-Ready AI

I want to guide a small group of absolute beginners all the way to the point where they can land an entry-level role in AI, machine learning and generative AI. To get there, I’ll need a mentor who can design and deliver a complete learning journey—covering core theory just enough to ground them, then pivoting quickly into hands-on coding, model training and project work that showcases real-world skills.

Here’s what I’m expecting from you:
• A clear, modular curriculum that progresses from Python basics through classic machine-learning workflows and on to modern generative models (GPT-style LLMs, diffusion, etc.).
• Live or recorded sessions with practical demos, Jupyter notebooks and datasets my trainees can keep experimenting with after class.
• Capstone projects substantial enough to populate a portfolio and demonstrate job-ready competence; guidance on refining those projects for GitHub and technical interviews.
• Ongoing Q&A support—Slack, Discord or similar—and lightweight progress checkpoints so nobody falls behind.
• Suggestions for open-source contributions, Kaggle competitions or hackathons that fit naturally into the timeline.

I’m flexible on tools as long as they are industry-relevant—TensorFlow, PyTorch, Hugging Face, LangChain, Google Colab or local GPU setups are all fine. Please outline how many weeks you’d need, the approximate hours of live contact, and what deliverables (slides, notebooks, code repos) you’ll hand over at each milestone.
