With growing interests in data science, machine learning, artificial intelligence, etc; more and more students and those already in the employment market are looking to pivot their career into this space. On the 5th of November, the Data School, in partnership with IndabaX​​​, held a webinar on Careers in Data Science. Four panelists at different stages of their career were invited to answer various questions on entering this career space, the type of skills one needs to develop and how to showcase one's talent outside of a normal degree space. The recording of the video can be found here.
