Quick post this morning — I have a survey up gathering input on interest in short, technical courses.
Think 2-3 days, potentially in person/synchronous.
If you have taken a course with Paul Allison at Horizon’s, or an ICPSR summer course, those are similar examples. But, the main difference will be these courses are to prepare you for pursuing private sector roles.
These will be aimed at:
- grad level social science students
- current professors looking to pursue private sector roles
- current data analysts looking to get into data science
- undergrads with some more technical background
Survey lists potential courses (python for data analysis, intro to LLM APIs, SQL + Dashboards, using agent based tools for analysis), the course medium (in person vs video), price points.
If you are a university or organization interested in hosting such sessions for your students, let me know as well. Happy to chat to you about bringing this to your campus.
