The latest IT Skills Report by developer screening and interview platform DevSkiller recorded a 295% increase in the number of data science-related tasks recruiters were setting for candidates in the interview process during 2021.

This, in turn, fuelled the growth of Python, demand for which grew by 154% in the same year.

GCU has responded to this demand with the creation of a brand new Graduate Apprenticeship programme, BSc Hons AI and Data Science, launching in September this year.

We know that whilst employer demand is high, many organisations need to develop a deeper understanding of what Data Science brings to the table, and how it can positively impact the bottom line. If you’re in this position, this event is ideal for you!

We’ll kick off with guest speaker, Chris Wallace, Senior Data Scientist at Aggreko. We’ll also be joined by Professor Gordon Morison, Head of Computing and board member of Scotland IS and Dr Mark Jenkins, our AI & Data Science GA Programme Leader – we’ll then break for a Q&A panel and close.

Please register your place now and we’ll be in touch shortly with more information, looking forward to seeing you soon!
