Data Science Academies
Over the last couple months, I’ve come across a couple data science academies (Zipfian and Insight) that offers 6~12 week programs where potential fellows, as they like to call it, spend the time working on a project and preparing for interviews with partner companies. The program is free for fellows because the academies collect recruiting fees from the partner companies. The placement rate is basically 100%. It’s an interesting recruitment idea and a sure way to be exposed to many big tech companies. It’s good to know that there is demand for data scientists/engineers.
