The Digital Enterprise Africa (DEA) recognizes the importance of providing quality training opportunities to empower young people with data science skills. As part of its commitment to their development, the DEA is procuring UDEMY’s “The Data Science Course 2023: Complete Data Science Bootcamp” to serve as the foundation for their training. This comprehensive course will cover essential data science concepts, tools, and techniques, equipping the trainees with a solid understanding of the field.
In addition to the course material, the DEA understands the value of mentorship in nurturing talent. The organization has reached out to potential mentors from among the ISSA Alumni, who will provide personalized guidance and support to the trainees throughout their learning journey. These mentors, with their expertise and industry experience, will play a crucial role in helping the trainees apply their knowledge effectively and navigate the data science landscape.
To ensure a conducive learning environment, the DEA will recruit candidates who have completed their Matriculation (with a focus on Pure Mathematics). The recruits must have stable, fast internet connectivity at their homes. This consideration enables seamless access to online resources, interactive learning platforms, and virtual collaboration opportunities, maximizing the trainees’ learning experience.
By building a skills development program around these talented individuals, the DEA aims to create a pathway for their success in the digital space. The training program not only enhances their digital competencies but also opens doors to various opportunities. It equips them with the necessary skills for employability, making them more attractive to prospective employers seeking candidates with strong digital proficiency. Furthermore, the programme may inspire entrepreneurial ambitions, enabling trainees to explore and potentially establish their own digital ventures.
Through this training initiative, the DEA strives to bridge the digital skills gap, empower individuals with in-demand capabilities, and foster a digitally proficient workforce that can thrive in the ever-evolving digital landscape.
