I think a good model for this is the Insight Fellowship. By selecting mostly STEM Ph.D. graduates, the pool of students already has some relevant background/foundation. The focus can then be on the tools and methods for applying DS in a corporate/business setting, which is actually relevant for jobs.
- apsurd 5y agoi took parent comment to be a criticism of the model. This is not a school, the intention is not actually to teach anything.. lolz
- baron_harkonnen 5y agoInsight grads, in my experience, have been a notorious joke. Nothing has diminished my respect for a PhD from a top-tier institution more than the people I have worked with coming out of that program.
- whymauri 5y agoInteresting, I've had the opposite experience. One of the best managers I've ever reported to and worked with came from the project. I've also worked with a few good engineers and scientists from there, too. I suppose this is a reminder of The Law of Small Numbers and sample size importance!
