Entrepreneurs & Employers

The SkillsUP Labs are open to all. We deliberately build our learning communities to include employer sponsored people and those who are seeking new work. If you have employees who could benefit from this program and bring their knowledge back to you, please encourage them to apply. If you are employer that is looking for people with practical data science and analytics skills in addition to their other career experiences, you can meet our community members and hire directly from our program. Contact us to explore the possibilities!

In addition, we are looking at opportunities for Hands On Labs with prospective employers for SkillsUP Lab participants. From the end of their second month, we would like to include a weekly Hands On Lab day with companies as part of their program. We envision that participants will contribute to a business initiative or project that actively gives them the opportunity to develop their skills further and increase their hands on experience. For companies, the benefit is an eager, curious problem solver with data science and analytics skills that they want to apply to real world questions. 
SkillsUP Lab offers the following models to organizations. If these options do not 100% fit with your organization, let’s build a model together that works for everyone. These projects will begin at 2 months into the program, after the modules on working with data, visualizing data and ethics have been completed.  

For Data Science track followers, they will also have had Python or R. Their third month is focused on machine learning and model building. For Data Analysis track followers, they will be ready to work on their capstone. 

Our Models

01
Company directly provides internship to participant, assuming the necessary paperwork required by local authorities and makes all arrangements. The SkillsUP Lab will facilitate the connection. This type of internship is ideal for organizations who are evaluating if the participant would be a good fit for hire for them at the end of the program.
02
Company chooses 1 or 2 candidates for projects within their team and The Do Good Only Company makes all of the arrangements with the participants regarding their participation. This model is ideal for project based experiences, with a clear deliverable and end date.
03
Company provides a one-time learning experience, such as a hackathon where SkillsUP Lab participants can hack, build and network with the organization/community and employees.
04
Company can decide to offer traineeships in place of or at after the completion of a successful internship. These traineeships will provide the organization with a dedicated set of students and their knowledge with the goal of gaining experience and deciding if there is a mutual fit/interest for employment. In this case, The Do Good Only Company will make all of the arrangements on behalf of the trainee and provide support.
05
Company provides a data project to the SkillsUp Lab, for the larger group to work on. The Do Good Only Company will manage the project like a regular consulting project, with a small flat fee which goes into the SkillsUP Lab Scholarship Fund.

Data flows through your business. Do you have a business intelligence team that could use some extra support with business requirements? A marketing team that would like to be able to dig deeper into the data they use to design campaigns? An HR team that would like to be able to get more useful data and needs help with what to ask the IT team for? A purchasing team that would like to have highly understandable dashboards to share with others? 

Our professionals come to our program with experience in many sectors. The purpose of our Real-World Data program is to supplement their ongoing technical and power skill training with the ability to make a contribution in your company and to help them take business knowledge back into their studies. The benefits are mutual. People who have practical experience with the business can design and develop better products than people who have only academic knowledge.
