    Are you familiar with the value of Data Science apprenticeships?  An IBM apprenticeship provides an opportunity to join IBM - even if you don't have a college degree - and develop skills in specific areas including Data Science.  The Data Science apprenticeship program is a 2-year program where you join an IBM team and throughout the 2 years receive Data Science education, mentorship, and opportunities to work in real world projects internal to IBM or with IBM clients. After the 2 years, you receive a certificate from the Department of Labor validating your expertise as a Data Scientist and are eligible for any open jobs where you can continue growing your career as a Data Scientist.  

    There are apprenticeships in many other areas too, such as software engineering, mainframe system administration, data analytics, and even nontechnical ones focused on other fields for example HR.  They also vary in length. Some are 12 months, or 18 months.

    And it gets better. You are paid from day 1. So in essence you are being paid to learn and develop a whole new career. To learn more about apprenticeships and apply for apprentice jobs, go to https://www.ibm.com/us-en/employment/newcollar/apprenticeships.html

    Programs like this are big differentiators when hiring because of the working experience, and getting paid can really take care of a lot of student loan debt.

    Wow, what a fascinating program!  We encounter so many people looking to make a career transition into emerging fields like Data Science and AI.  I wonder if this would be appropriate for perhaps women re-entering the workforce after taking time away for family reasons?

    This is in fact a perfect program for parents -usually mothers - to come back to work.  In the different apprentices we have people ranging in all ages from 18 to late 50s, we have veterans, people changing careers, and coming from all kinds of backgrounds.  It is an extremely valuable way to get a whole new career with a great support system behind it.

    This is a great program.  I think it also recognizes that people learn in many different ways - at different speeds  - and by using different modalities.  This allows to people to start their careers a little earlier (or even a little later).  This also adds an extra layer of diversity to our Data Science teams which can help broaden perspectives and employ innovative approaches.

    Wow.  I had no idea this is available for people looking to enter the brave new world of Data and AI.  Definitely a terrific concept for students young and older who want to embrace this world which is here to stay.  Thanks so much for sharing; if I meet any candidates I will definitely send them information on our apprenticeship opportunities.

    I'm familiar with the value of Data Science apprenticeships, and they can be a fantastic opportunity for individuals without a college degree to enter the field. IBM's Data Science apprenticeship program provides valuable hands-on experience, mentorship, and education over a 2-year period. The certificate from the Department of Labor further validates your expertise, opening doors for future career growth. Additionally, being paid from day 1 adds a great incentive. For those interested, the IBM website provides more information and the option to apply. Have you considered exploring apprenticeships as a pathway into Data Science or other fields?

    What an extraordinary gem !
    I wonder if these apprenticeships are available in Remote for international volunteers. I would gladly join and learn more from the experts.

    What are the opportunities for those who own a University degree such as Master. I owner a Master degree in Computer Science and still work but not happy with my environment not really sure about my career's future. Is it there any program or opportunities for graduates ? I have also some professional certificates from IBM

    The idea of joining a program like this, even without a college degree, is quite compelling. The fact that you receive both education and practical experience over a span of two years is an excellent way to build a strong foundation in Data Science. The mentorship and real-world project opportunities provide hands-on learning, which is invaluable in a field that heavily relies on practical skills.

    Hello

    Absolutely, Data Science apprenticeships can be incredibly valuable. IBM's program seems like a fantastic opportunity for those interested in entering the field, especially if they don't have a college degree. The combination of education, mentorship, and hands-on experience is a powerful way to build expertise. Plus, the fact that apprentices are paid from day one makes it even more appealing. Thanks for sharing this information and the link for those interested in exploring apprenticeships further! I have applied  here https://www.ibm.com/us-en/employment/newcollar/Golang Trainingapprenticeships.html

    Thank you.
