• Complete a structured training curriculum to build cloud architecture foundations and develop expertise in AWS services
• Analyze customer requirements and learn to translate them into technical solution recommendations
• Participate in solution design sessions and observe customer engagements with experienced Solutions Architects
• Work on a real AWS project, applying architecture principles and building hands-on experience with AWS services
• Develop communication skills by learning to present technical concepts effectively to diverse audiences

• A day in the life
• As an Associate Solutions Architect Intern, you'll engage in a mix of structured learning and practical application. Your day might include attending training sessions on AWS services and the Well-Architected Framework, then applying those concepts to a real project you're building on AWS. You'll participate in solution design discussions, observing how experienced architects translate customer needs into technical recommendations. You might shadow customer engagements to see how solutions are presented to diverse audiences, then return to work on your own project, experimenting with AWS services and architecture principles. Throughout your internship, you'll develop presentation skills by communicating technical concepts to colleagues and mentors, receiving feedback that helps you grow as a solutions architect.
