This week will be laser focused on helping graduates get hired through a series of workshops, speaker presentations, and mock interviews.
Metis is also launching seven live, online Short Immersive Courses for students who want to gain in-demand data science and analytics skills in just two weeks. Unlike the bootcamps, there is open enrollment, with no admissions process. Students will learn from elite instructors in this unique, full-time format, while applying what they’ve been taught to a final project that can be added to a professional portfolio. These courses will also provide an opportunity to see what the bootcamp experience is like:
- Exploratory Data Analysis
- Business Fundamentals for Data Practitioners
- Linear Regression and Web Scraping
- Machine Learning Classification
- Natural Language Processing and Unsupervised Learning
- Introduction to Data Engineering
- Deep Learning Fundamentals
“We are incredibly excited about our new programs. We’ve fundamentally evolved our offerings to help ensure that we can provide our future students with the skills they need in data science and analytics to reach their career goals. Our new offerings are more specialized, which makes our curricula and content more relevant for students depending on their individual needs,” said Jason Moss, president and founder, Metis. “Since the pandemic accelerated our plans to move to an online-only model, we’ve been impressed at how warmly students have embraced the changes and we look forward to sharing more in the months ahead as our vision for the future of Metis and our students progresses.”
Applications are now open to enroll in the next live, online bootcamps that begin in March 2021. For more information and to apply, visit thisismetis.com/bootcamps. To enroll in one of Metis’s immersive courses, which also begin in March, visit thisismetis.com/courses.
