Stop waiting—dive into data science by enrolling in our Data Science Bootcamp.
Master tomorrow's data science skills today in our industry-proven bootcamp.
AI literacy is fast becoming an in-demand skill. Keep up with the trend and learn to apply Large Learning Models (LLMs) to Natural Language Processing (NLPs) for effective business solutions.
A career in data science can give you the flexibility you’re looking for. 52% of Lighthouse Labs graduates work fully remote, while 43% work less than 3 days a week in the office.
79% of Data Science job-seeking graduates are hired in analyst or scientist roles, including as Machine Learning Specialists.
On top of that, 2021 Data Science graduates saw an average 9% bump in starting salary over the previous year. This upward trend is only set to continue.
*The above salary figures are based from the Lighthouse Labs 2022 Career Trajectory Report.
Data scientists combine computer science, mathematics, statistics, modelling and a solid understanding of their industry to discover new strategies. They clean and sort data and create algorithms that analyze trends. They then present their findings to companies to help them improve their practices and systems.
Data engineers work in a variety of fields to build systems that collect, manage, and convert unsorted data into usable information for data scientists and analysts to interpret. Their end goal is to make data accessible so that organizations can use it to evaluate and optimize their performance.
Machine learning engineers research, build, and design artificial intelligence (AI) responsible for machine learning along with maintaining and improving existing artificial intelligence systems. They also act as the go-between for data scientists who develop AI construction models and those who build and run them.
If you want to launch your new career as a data scientist as quickly as possible — opt for the Data Science Bootcamp. If you’re looking to balance your studies along with work, health and wellness, or caregiver duties — then Data Science Flex is the program for you.
But remember: the curriculum, the job outcomes, the objectives are all the same no matter which option you choose.
Every week, Data Science Bootcamp students attend five weekday lectures while dedicating an extra 50 hours to work on projects, assignments and course collaborations.
In contrast, those enrolled in the Data Science Flex Program are only required to attend two lectures a week. Students are also recommended to set aside an additional 25 hours every week to work on projects, assignments and course collaborations.
*Optional Self-Study Module
No previous coding education or experience is required to attend Lighthouse Labs.
Set up a data science environment on your own device using Anaconda, VSCode, Git, and Virtual Environments.
