In a word, absolutely!
Our Career Paths were designed to take you from zero prior knowledge in programming and math to tackling independent, end-to-end data science projects that you can add to your portfolio to impress that potential employer you're interviewing with down the line.
Our goal is to give you the technical skill and savvy to compete for entry-level positions in the data field, regardless of your past experiences and occupations. We've helped many students make the switch to data, many of whom you can read about in-depth on our learner stories page.
Of course, you're not alone in your new and exciting journey. We have multiple ways you can get support in case you ever need that extra push, including, but not limited to:
- Collaborating and co-studying with other students in our moderated, members-only student community.
- Downloading Takeaways for reviewing concepts no matter where you are!
