The actual selection of projects will be determined by business need and will evolve throughout the internship year. Example projects include: • HR Affinity AI & Analytics Upskilling Program. Design and deliver a structured learning program for the HR Affinity, helping company HR teams build capability in AI tools, prompt design, and Domo. Develop a self-paced resource library, facilitate hands-on workshops, and create an ongoing “show and tell” cadence for HR Affinity members to share discoveries, build confidence, and apply new skills to their day-to-day work. • HR Process Mapping & Automation Opportunity Assessment. Map current-state workflows and identify the highest-value opportunities for AI and Domo automation. Conduct interviews, document process flows, and deliver an opportunity roadmap with effort and impact scoring to become the foundation for automation work during the internship. • AI-Assisted Onboarding Experience. Redesign the onboarding experience using AI to generate personalized welcome communications, role-specific 30/60/90-day plans, and automated FAQ responses — triggered by new hire data from existing HR systems. Build a Domo dashboard that gives managers real-time visibility into onboarding completion and early engagement signals. • Performance Management Writing Assist. Develop AI-assisted tools and structured prompts to help managers efficiently deliver higher-quality, more consistent, and less-biased performance reviews. Help develop a calibration tool that reveals rating distributions and flags inconsistencies across teams, advancing transparency across performance management. • Recruiting Funnel Analytics & AI Screening Tools. Connect talent acquisition data to Domo, creating cross-company visibility of key recruiting metrics, including time-to-fill, offer acceptance rates, and source effectiveness. Develop AI tools to create question banks and tailored interview guides, helping hiring teams move faster and with greater consistency. • Personalized Team Member Experience & Talent Analytics. Design an AI-driven framework that draws on talent data, including tenure, role, engagement scores, and development goals to suggest personalized development recommendations, recognition moments, and retention insights for managers. Help build a Domo-powered talent planning view that maps high-potential team members and identifies succession gaps to give HR leaders the data they need to grow and retain talent.
