Is the Residency an internship?
No. The Residency is not an internship. For those Residents who perform well we extend full-time offers to join OpenAI immediately upon completion of the six-months Residency.
Can I pursue the Residency while enrolled in school or higher education studies?
No. Residents are full-time employees and therefore cannot be actively enrolled in any school programs while employed at OpenAI.
If a student is interested in pursuing the Residency they can either elect to:
▪️ Leave their educational program.
▪️ Wait to apply until closer to the end of their studies (~3 months out is a good timeline).
