IMTalent | Metis Data Science Bootcamp @ Kaplan

Overview

Kaplan Learning Institute is bringing the highly successful Data Science Bootcamp that Metis runs in the USA to Singapore. The bootcamp is customised with an Asian perspective and is supported under TechSkills Accelerator initiative's (TeSA) Tech Immersion and Placement Programme (TIPP). Trainees will learn cutting-edge technologies such as the Python environment, Machine Learning, interactive data visualisation and other modern big data tools and architecture.

The Metis Data Science Bootcamp is 420 hours long in duration, conducted over a period of 12 weeks (not including a 25 hours of pre-work). Under this programme, trainees will be trained to build five data science related projects for their online portfolio - four smaller projects designed to “train up” different key aspects of data science and a Passion Project that they can present to potential employers. Proposals for the Passion Project will be reviewed and approved in advance by the Metis Faculty member(s). Upon successful completion of the programme, graduates will be awarded with a Data Science Certificate from Metis.

In addition to the Data Science training, the trainees will also receive career coaching, talks and advisory sessions throughout the course of the Bootcamp. Job facilitation support will be provided for the programme graduates too.
