In December the first cohort of six students completed their four month program in the Omaha Data Science Academy, a partnership between Interface Web School and Contemporary Analysis.
Already 4 of 6 students have been placed in new jobs based on their training through the program. [Update: An earlier version of this story said 5 of 6 students were placed in new jobs.]
The program focuses on four modules: Foundations of Python Programming, Data Manipulation and Management, Statistics and Computational Modeling and Data Visualization.
The modules are led by four instructors who work full-time in the data science field.
