Overview
Handshake AI recruits college vocational instructors and technical education teachers for a part-time, temporary AI research project. You do not need prior AI experience to take part. The work asks you to review what AI models produce in your subject area, judge content tied to your field, and send structured feedback that helps the system better grasp workplace tasks and language. If you teach vocational education or technical education, your subject knowledge is the main qualification. Projects open throughout the year across different areas of expertise, so assignments arrive in waves.
What You'll Do7
- Review outputs from AI models that relate to your trade, technical field, or teaching area.
- Assess sample content for accuracy, context, and fit with real workplace practice.
- Write feedback that explains errors, missing details, and unclear terms.
- Describe tasks and language from your profession so the model can interpret them.
- Flag responses that misuse industry terms or misrepresent your field.
- Provide clear notes when a model output needs more context.
- Track hours for each assignment.
Requirements6
- Current or former college instructor in a vocational or technical education program.
- Hands-on professional experience in the subject you teach.
- Ability to review written or technical content and spot factual gaps.
- Strong written communication skills for structured feedback.
- Willingness to work on a part-time, temporary basis.
- No prior AI experience required.
Who Should Apply
The role fits current college vocational instructors and technical education teachers who want remote, part-time project work and can critique AI outputs in their own field. You bring deep subject knowledge from years in a trade or technical program, and you can explain workplace tasks in plain language. Candidates who lack teaching experience in vocational or technical education, or who need a full-time permanent post, will find this project a poor match. Many applicants lose fit score when they send generic feedback samples, cite no specific course or trade, or cannot show recent work in the subject area. A weak written sample that misses errors in model output also hurts your chances.
Salary Insight
This fellowship pays up to $75.00 per hour. That rate sits at the high end for project-based AI evaluation work and often matches experienced instructors or subject matter experts with deep domain knowledge. Since assignments open at different times of the year, your total hours depend on which projects need your expertise.
