Project Description
Data Science
Global Trainee – Work from Home Internship Programme
Course ID – GKA-045
Who is this Internship Programme for?
The internship programme is available in two options for the following candidates.
- 4 weeks – only for those with strong Python skills and intermediate level familiarity with Data Science tools and concepts.
- 8 weeks or 10 weeks – this is the recommended programme for all participants and is available for both:
- those who have python skills but no Data Science background but yet are serious about making a career in the field.
- those with no python skills. The first three weeks of the programme are spent in learning Python and the balance five weeks on developing Data Science skills.
By having Python skills, we refer to candidates who have actually done coding in Python and are well versed in it and not those who have just completed a theoretical course.
What is the benefit of this Internship Programme? Is it a course?
This is not a course, there are no theory classes. This is an Internship Programme where participants would be given weekly tasks that they will solve with full support and guidance from their International Mentor through live weekly sessions.
The International Mentor is an award winning, industry expert who has worked as Lead Data Scientist with prestigious global organisations like GE Research and Microsoft.
Participants are provided the following by their Mentor through live weekly sessions:
- regular feedback on work done
- personalised query resolution and guidance
- weekly handouts, video notes, etc to help solve the tasks
This support by the Mentor not only helps participants in successfully completing the weekly tasks but also helps the participants to:
- gain deep understanding of key Data Science concepts and fundamentals
- develop expertise in the area through intensive practice on live data sets
Internship Programme Objective
Develop such a level of competency in participants that they can apply for paid freelance opportunities in Data Science and hence, take the first steps towards building a successful career in the field.
This Internship Programme along with the freelance projects would help participants build a strong profile and gain experience that would help them enter the world of Data Science.
Certificates
- Internship Certificate from Sloan Technologies FZCO, UAE (the Data Science division of Ureka Education Group, UK)
- Certificate of Achievement from Ureka Education, UK
- Certificate of Achievement from Global Knowledge Alliance , Australia
Post Internship Opportunities
Meritorious, top performing interns may be offered paid roles in the Data Science division of Ureka UK or any of its group companies.
