Internship – Series of 5 courses

This internship is designed for anyone who has a passion for learning and is interested in developing skills, tools, and a portfolio that will give them a competitive advantage in the job market as an entry-level data scientist.

During these five online courses, you will develop the skills needed to integrate and leverage different data sources using the R programming language to transform data into insights that help you and your stakeholders make more informed decisions.

What will you learn?

  • Performing basic programming tasks in the R language.
  • Data preparation, statistical analysis and predictive modeling.
  • Creating relational databases and querying data using SQL and R.
  • Communicating findings using data visualization techniques.

Hands-on Learning Project

During the internship, you will complete practical labs that will help you gain practical experience with:

  • Different data sources.
  • Data sets.
  • SQL and relational databases.
  • The R programming language.

You will work with tools like R Studio, Jupyter Notebooks, and R libraries related to data science, including dplyr, Tidyverse, Tidymodels, R Shiny, ggplot2, Leaflet, and rvest.

In the final course of the specialization, you will complete a final project in which you will apply what you have learned to a challenge that requires data collection, analysis, basic hypothetical experimentation, visualization, and modeling required on real-world data sets.
