Make yourself in-demand in tech
Reap the benefits of going Unlimited for less in February with five of our top computer science and programming courses, and boost your employability in tech today.
In 2012, the Harvard Business Review named the humble data scientist as the sexiest job of the 21st century.
8 years on and reports on data science roles have shown, on average, around a 30% increase in demand for data scientists year on year.
So, what’s so sexy about data?
For companies, a data scientist’s appeal lies in their elusive nature. A good one is hard to pin down and difficult to hold on to.
To be a tech expert, you require a rare combination of skills, like analytical ability, programming knowledge, statistics know-how, and the dreaded soft skill: strong communication.
With Unlimited, you can earn certificates in as many emerging and established areas of computer science and programming as you like, so you can build skills for the in-demand tech roles of tomorrow.
