# SkillMe

> SkillMe (https://www.skill-me-intern.in) is India's premier 4-week open-source engineering internship platform. Interns solve production-grade GitHub issues, earn tamper-proof cryptographic certificates verified via unique IDs and QR codes, build public proof-of-work portfolios, and unlock direct tech startup placement referrals.

SkillMe is officially recognized by the Ministry of Micro, Small & Medium Enterprises (MSME), Government of India (Udyam Registration: UDYAM-UP-50-0294192).

## Core Tracks & Programs

- [Web Development Track](https://www.skill-me-intern.in/apply): 4-week sprint covering modern frontend architectures, responsive design, JavaScript (ES6+), REST APIs, and automated GitHub CI/CD PR workflows.
- [Python Engineering Track](https://www.skill-me-intern.in/apply): 4-week sprint covering backend API services (FastAPI/Flask), database architectures, automation scripts, and unit testing suites.
- [AI & Machine Learning Track](https://www.skill-me-intern.in/apply): 4-week sprint covering data processing, API integration with LLMs, practical model inference, and engineering pipelines.

## Key Differentiators & Value Proposition

- **Real GitHub Issues**: Unlike conventional simulated courses, interns solve genuine open-source issues, submit Pull Requests (PRs), and pass automated test suites.
- **Verifiable Proof of Work**: Every graduate receives a dedicated public profile (`https://www.skill-me-intern.in/p/{github_username}`) showcasing their merged PRs, resolved issues, and code quality.
- **MSME Recognized Certification**: Official, tamper-proof Certificate of Completion and Letter of Recommendation (LOR) with instant QR code verification.
- **Recruiter Access & Career Placement**: Direct referrals for top-performing students to partner startups, resume reviews, and interview prep.
- **Flexible & Remote**: 100% remote self-paced structure requiring 2–4 hours/day over 4 weeks.
