Turing College joins Y Combinator with a vision to shake up data science recruitment in Europe
Summary
The Vilnius-based edtech company provides an education in data science with an Income Share Agreement (ISAs) via its self-paced, peer-driven remote learning platform. As a 2020 report by software firm Anaconda notes, what students are learning and what universities are teaching isnt necessarily what enterprises need from new data scientists.This gap creates a chain of problems for recruiters. As a result, the recruitment process for data scientists typically takes months, and there is no guarantee new employees will be work-ready when they arrive.Turing College solves this problem by co-creating its curricula together with tech-oriented companies who join as Hiring Partners. This means companies can select data scientists that will fit with their team culture and have precisely the competencies they need.As for the learners at Turing College, instead of a diploma on graduation they simply get a new job. As a member of the Y Combinator program, the edtech startup hopes to scale its operation into new European markets.Turing College is an online data science career school in Europe that offers Income Share Agreements (ISAs) and provides a unique data-based solution for IT recruitment.
