Filling the industry’s educational needs for data scientists | #SparkInsight
by Amber Johnson | Jun 19, 2015
Galvanize is part of what John Furrier calls IBM’s “Million Developer March.” Mike Tamir, chief science officer at Galvanize, describes his institution as a “teaching hospital for data scientists and web developers of the future.”
Tamir told theCUBE’s John Furrier and George Gilbert during IBM Spark 2015 that he “sees all kinds of articles out there about how people can’t find the right kind of talent in data science and why there is such a dearth in talent.”
Training data scientists
Tamir claimed the reason behind this phenomenon is “no one has the training recipe right.” Galvanize practices “putting the students in a classroom in an industry environment.” To that end, Galvanize has six campuses, soon to be seven in San Francisco, CA, Seattle, WA, and Denver, CO.
Programs include the Fullstack Web Development Program, Galvanize’s original program, and Data Science Immersive Program, a three-month program in the background math and coding skills for entry-level data science jobs.
Two students and one instructor from Galvanize participated in IBM’s hackathon the weekend before Spark Summit. Tamir discovered just moments before his interview with theCUBE that the team had won the competition. Median income for data scientists is in the low $100k. Galvanize also offers a 12-month master’s program with full accreditation.
“The appetite [for education] is huge. Everyone wants to become a full stack web developer … even more so for the data scientists,” Tamir explained. “When you use Netflix, use Amazon, you’re seeing machine learning in action.” And Tamir has noticed an increasing interest in the processes behind those technologies, which in turn has led to a high enrollment rate.
