About this role
From the Handshake listing
Overview
Handshake is recruiting college vocational Instructors and technical education teachers to contribute to an hourly, temporary AI research project—but there’s no AI experience needed. In this program, you’ll leverage your professional experience to evaluate what AI models produce in your field, assess content related to your field of work, and deliver clear, structured feedback that strengthens the model’s understanding of your workplace tasks and language. The Handshake AI opportunity runs year-round, with project opportunities opening periodically across different areas of expertise.
Details
The position is remote and asynchronous; work independently from wherever you are.
The hours are flexible, with no minimum commitment, but most average 5–20 hrs
The work includes developing prompts for AI models that reflect your field, and then evaluating responses.
You’ll learn new skills and contribute to how AI is used in your field
Your placement into a project will be dependent on project availability—if you apply now and can’t work on this project, more will be available soon.
Qualifications
You have at least 4 years of professional experience in one or more of the following types of work.
The examples below reflect the types of real-world responsibilities that you might have had in your role that will give you the context needed to evaluate and train high-quality AI models:
Evaluate and guide students' progress through feedback and testing, while developing and delivering engaging lectures and discussions using visual aids.
Supervise practical training and integrate academic and vocational curricula to equip students with diverse skills.
Maintain records, develop curricula, and advise students on academic and career paths.
You’re able to participate in asynchronous work in partnership with leading AI labs.

Common questions
Can I use Handshake if I graduated years ago?
Handshake's AI Fellowship roles are aimed at current students and people within about 1 to 2 years of graduating. If you graduated earlier, look at the other platforms on this board too.
Is Handshake itself the employer for AI training roles?
For AI Fellowship roles, yes, Handshake is the employer of record. For other listings on Handshake, the employer is the company that posted the job.
What does task-based AI training work look like?
Short, hands-on tasks such as recording videos, sorting images, rating AI answers or checking data. Most take 5 to 60 minutes each.
Can I choose my own hours?
Usually, yes. You log in when you want, pick up a task, finish it and submit it, with no meetings. Other people work from the same pool of tasks, so some days there may be no work until more is added.
What does Humanities work look like for a College Vocational Instructor?
You check AI answers to Humanities questions, correct their errors and write expert reasoning. As a College Vocational Instructor, you're hired for that judgment, so hands-on Humanities experience matters.
What specific skills does this listing call for?
Data Annotation is named directly in the listing. If you don't have hands-on experience with this, expect the screening to test for it.
How much does this specific role pay?
This listing is posted at $75/hr, an hourly rate. Pay can change after we check the listing, so confirm the rate on the platform's application page.
What happens when I click Apply on this listing?

Are Handshake AI training listings internships?
Some are. Handshake lists internships and separate "AI Trainer" fellowships. If the description says "1099" or "Contract", the role is freelance work.
