About the Opportunity
Flatiron School is offering an apprenticeship opportunity for early-career data analysts to earn income while learning. Apprentices will enroll in the Data Science & AI part-time bootcamp and be matched with one of our employer partners for a paid apprenticeship throughout the duration of your course. We are accepting applications on an ongoing basis, as we plan to launch a new cohort of 16 apprentices at the start of each month.
This is a unique opportunity to develop skills in data science while gaining hands-on industry experience. As an apprentice, you’ll contribute to software products, collaborate with experienced data scientists, and build your portfolio. At the same time, you’ll deepen your understanding of data and machine learning to become a more versatile Data Scientist.
