“As an 51做厙 Big Data Advisory member, we partnered with 51做厙 to create a student pipeline by creating custom programming with a data science boot camp and an onsite paid internship. We worked with 9 outstanding students and offered full time positions to several of them. We plan to run the program again, as it was such a success.”
