Corporate Partners Cohort

About the Corporate Partners Cohort

Students describe their experience in The Data Mine like having an internship during the academic year – it is experiential learning at its best using project-based work and industry mentorship along the way. Students work with real-world data and real-world challenges ultimately helping them build data literacy skills they need to be successful in their future careers.
