Share:

January 30, 2019

IBM also said it will create a data science apprentice program as well as the data scientist certification for employees.

IBM and The Open Group, a certification consortium, said they have launched a data scientist certification in a bid to formalize training for what represents one of the hottest career areas.

The data science skill shortage has been a topic of discussion in recent years. A LinkedIn study reckons that more than 151,000 data scientist jobs go unfilled. While automation, machine learning and artificial intelligence may be able to alleviate the skills shortage more humans need to enter the field.

IBM and The Open Group will validate a data scientist certification that will gauge skills and qualifications. IBM said the certification will be available directly to its employees to provide new career paths. The cert will be based on project works, three levels of certification and badges.
