Pathway 2

Analysis of Nevada’s workforce needs shows a significant gap in trained professionals with data analytics skills. These skills are also central to HDRFS research related to computer vision, sensor fusion, machine learning, and other workflows.

For the next generation of STEM professionals, our vision is that students from any STEM major can learn and apply the tools of data analytics to their career path. We worked closely with NCLab to customize data analytics training for multidisciplinary applications and empower students to learn and apply these tools to their major of choice and HDRFS research.

RESEARCH INTERNSHIPS

Data analytics skills contribute to advancing science knowledge in a range of areas, including numerous HDRFS research questions. HDRFS scientists and faculty studying related fields will design internship opportunities that use the tools provided by the Data Analytics Training and engage students in successfully participating as research interns.

Students who are enrolled in the Data Analytics training will have the opportunity to apply for paid Research Internships that engage the new skills they acquire in the training.

Overall, the Data Analytics Pathway creates a training pipeline that will broaden the options for participants across Nevada, with an emphasis on state and community college students, for the next stage of their data analytics careers.
