July 2023 Highlights: AI Trends, Tech Careers & Internship Tips
Welcome to the July 2023 roundup! This month we covered everything from the basics of artificial intelligence to real‑world advice on landing a job in banking or snagging a tech internship while still in high school. Below you’ll find quick takeaways from each article, so you can grab the info you need without scrolling through each post.
AI & Emerging Tech
We kicked off the month with a fun look at popular AI technologies. If you’ve heard terms like Machine Learning, Natural Language Processing, Robotic Process Automation, or Biometrics and wondered what they actually do, the post breaks them down in plain English. Machine Learning is basically teaching computers to spot patterns—think spam filters that learn what junk looks like. Natural Language Processing lets machines understand everyday language, which is why your phone can suggest replies. Robotic Process Automation automates repetitive office tasks, so you can ditch the manual data entry. Biometrics uses your unique traits—like fingerprints or facial features—to verify identity, adding an extra layer of security.
Understanding these tools helps you see where AI fits into everyday life and future jobs. Whether you’re a student picking a tech major or a professional considering upskilling, knowing the core AI concepts is a solid first step.
Career Paths & Opportunities
Next, we explored the language you hear when people talk about tech lovers. The simple answer? Most call themselves “techies” or “tech geeks.” It’s a label that captures anyone who gets excited about the latest gadget, software update, or coding hack. Embracing the term can help you connect with online communities, attend meet‑ups, or find mentors who share your passion.
We also dug into what banks and credit unions look for in new hires. The key ingredients are a bachelor’s degree in finance, economics, or a related field, plus strong analytical skills and a reputation for honesty. Customer service experience is a big plus because banking roles often involve direct client interaction. For higher‑level positions, certifications like the CFA or specialized licenses may be required. Knowing these criteria lets you tailor your résumé and focus on the right training.
In the tech‑company world, we broke down the main roles that keep a startup or big firm running. The CEO sets the vision, the CTO steers the tech strategy, software engineers build the product, and IT support keeps everything humming. Recognizing these positions helps you map out a career path—whether you aim to code, lead, or support.
Finally, we gave high‑school students a realistic look at internship options. Big names like Google, Microsoft, and IBM actually offer programs for students still in school, and many smaller startups are open to enthusiastic learners. Internships give you a glimpse into real‑world projects, build a solid résumé, and often lead to future job offers. The advice? Start early, reach out with a brief, personalized email, and showcase any side projects or coding clubs you’re involved in.
That’s the July 2023 archive in a nutshell. Each post is designed to give you practical knowledge you can apply today—whether you’re decoding AI buzzwords, polishing your job application, or hunting for that first tech internship.
