Using Cloud Technologies to Develop the Data Analysis Skills of Community College Students
www.qcc.cuny.edu/nsfGrants/nsf-ate.html
Working in collaboration with Queensborough Community College, the project team of Using Cloud Technologies to Develop the Data Analysis Skills of Community College Students intends to enhance the ability of the College to recruit, educate, and graduate a diverse group of students to help meet regional employment needs. The project will offer summer boot camps in Data Science/Analysis, a year-long undergraduate research experience following the summer camp, and a series of workshops focused on skills for internship applications and job interviews. To meet role models and increase their sense of belonging in Data Science/Analysis, students will also participate in a seminar series focused on Data Science/Analysis careers that will feature professionals from diverse backgrounds and from both academia and industry. The project will also offer preparation for the AWS Certified Cloud Practitioner certification. Hopefully, this initiative will lay the foundation to establish a degree program in Data Science/Analysis at Queensborough Community College.
