A Nigerian-Netherlands company, Data2Bots is launching a data talent acquisition program for individuals looking to start a career in the data space. This initiative, Data2Bots Academy, is open to data enthusiasts with little or no knowledge whatsoever about data.
This initiative was born out of a passion to bridge the supply and demand gap of data talents such as Data Engineers, Data Scientists, Data Analysts, Cloud Engineers among others. As many businesses have become reliant on data to discover business insights, predict customer behaviour to make informed business decisions, there is a rising surge in not just the number, but the quality of data skills required.
The Data2Bots Academy is a 9-months zero to mastery program that will train participants with the required industry-level knowledge and experience to approach and solve complex data problems with confidence and professionalism through a state-of-the-art problem-based learning approach.
When asked how participants can gain mastery of proficient data skills needed to excel in the workplace, Chief Executive Officer, Data2Bots, Dami Oke stated, “We believe that human capital is the greatest asset, hence, our curriculum is designed in three phases with a 3-month course duration each. Beginners will learn how to code using Python and SQL in the first phase. During the intermediate phase, Trainees are tutored on the various career paths they can explore in the data space, after which we advance to train them specifically in their chosen data path at the advanced stage”.
After the training, Data2Bots Academy will render the necessary support to the trainees to obtain the industry-wide certification depending on the course and the career path chosen. Successful trainees are provided with job opportunities and relocation options to a physical client environment in the Netherlands.
The Academy training is pre-recorded and conducted virtually using Slack for instant technical support, Jira for task management, and Zoom for live group sessions. Speaking on the payment structure of the Academy, Dami Oke said, “The tuition fee is $300 (or equivalent in Nigeria Naira) for each phase. This payment gives access to each three-month phase of the training including certification”.
Before the 9-month programme that is scheduled to start in July, Data2Bots Academy will commence a 12-week long webinar series starting in April. Themed “Demystifying the Data space”, this webinar targets data enthusiasts, helping them understand the data space ahead of the intensive program.
