This July and August CIT Data Science and Analytics students are seeking business partners to build their experience and to put their existing skills to test.

In addition to seeking field experience, students are currently evaluating potential projects to adopt for the research dimension of their programme. An opportunity exists for companies to work with a student on a particular aspect of their business. This way, a real-life data analytics problem is addressed, ensuring both the company and the student benefit from the collaboration.

These students are undertaking a one-year Higher Diploma in Data Science and Data Analytics programme which has been designed to address the skills shortage in the rapidly evolving interdisciplinary field of Data Science and Analytics. All of these students are already qualified, to at least Level 8, in areas such as Mathematical Sciences, Engineering, Commerce, Business, Science, and Public Health.

Demand for graduates in this space is high. Taking a student for a short work placement or collaborating on a research project can assist in identifying potential future employees for your business.
