One of the most compelling reasons to enter into a Master of Data Science program is the breadth of networking opportunities that help students begin their professional or academic careers after graduation. Here at the Center for Data Science, we continually cultivate professional relationships with human resource representatives from companies looking to hire the next generation of data scientists. For our third installation of our biweekly Roundtable Session, we invited MetTel, iHeartMedia, FactSet, Ideas42, and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to come and talk with out students about career opportunities.
MetTel offers telecommunication services ranging from cloud-based storage to hardline telephones. They use data science to gain insight into their customer base as a way of better serving their existing operations.
iHeartMedia is a mass media holding that includes iHeartRadio, one of the largest music and entertainment platforms in America.
FactSet develops and optimizes financial analytics tools for the investment industry.
Ideas42 brings academia and private industry together to use statistical and behavioral insights as a way of tackling some of the world’s toughest issues, including poverty, public health, and safety.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau was created in the wake of the 2008 economic recession, and from price gauging to mortgage fraud, the CFPB is ensuring that everyday citizens rights are upheld in the face of corporate interests.
