AI technologies are at the center of global technological change, and Levi9 continues to invest in them through research, education, and internships that connect the expertise of our engineers with the future generation of IT professionals. To give students the opportunity to gain hands-on experience with modern technologies, our teams in Novi Sad and Zrenjanin organized programs focused on artificial intelligence. In Belgrade, several internships primarily oriented toward other technologies also included the use of AI tools during project work.
The three-week AI internship, the second of its kind at Levi9, recently concluded in our Zrenjanin office. It involved three students who worked under the guidance of Levi9 mentors Milica Medić, Marko Pavlović, Dragan Krstevski, and Strahinja Jović. The same concept had previously been tested in Novi Sad, and the impressions of both participants and mentors were very positive.
Why AI Internships Matter at Levi9
Nađa Krivokuća, a levi niner from our Novi Sad office, worked with seven students from IT-oriented faculties, alongside colleagues Marko Dragićević, Duško Aleksić, and David Vuletaš.
When asked why the AI internship is important for Levi9, she said:
“I believe the development of artificial intelligence is one of the key drivers of change in the IT industry, which is why it’s important for us as a company to stay aligned with these trends. The AI internship at Levi9 is a great opportunity to share knowledge and experience with new generations of developers. The participants gain real-world experience working with modern AI tools, learn directly from experts, and develop skills that are increasingly in demand on the market. This creates mutual value for the community and strengthens the company’s position in the AI space.”
Nađa also emphasized the importance of integrating AI tools into everyday workflows:
“I think it’s essential for us as developers to follow current trends and adapt to technological progress — and AI is undoubtedly at the heart of that progress. AI-based tools enable faster, more efficient, and smarter problem-solving, which directly impacts the quality and speed of the development process. Of course, it’s important to use them responsibly — as support in development, not as a replacement for knowledge.”
Firsthand Impressions and Broader Impact
This program gives young talents the chance to engage in real tasks in the field of artificial intelligence. Vesna Zubac, a Levi9 scholarship recipient and participant of the Novi Sad internship, shared her thoughts:
“This internship gave me hands-on experience and motivated me even more to continue developing in the field of AI. In addition to technical knowledge, I gained a better understanding of how the IT industry works and what it means to work in a team environment. The mentors were always ready to help, explain anything unclear, and share their knowledge and experience. Working with them, I learned a lot — both in terms of technical skills and equally important soft skills.”
She also pointed out how useful it is to expose students to topics that are often underrepresented in academic curricula:
“I’ve always been particularly interested in artificial intelligence because of its ability to solve complex problems, and since this wasn’t the focus at my university, the internship was a great opportunity to learn something new.”
AI internships at Levi9 are not just educational programs — they are part of a broader strategy to invest in knowledge, community, and innovation. In a time when AI is rapidly integrating into all areas of business, it’s not enough to simply keep up — we must help shape the change. And that’s exactly what we aim to do with every internship and every new generation of developers we support, whether in the field of AI or in other technologies.
In addition to AI, this year we also organized Cloud Engineer internships (AWS and Azure) and Fullstack internships in Novi Sad, as well as Java Cloud and Python internships in Belgrade. The internship dedicated solely to Python, like the AI internship, is a new addition at Levi9 and is sure to become one of our standard programs in the future.
