Merit2Work Program
There are gaps in the market today between education and attaining on-the-job proficiency. As more jobs become available for 'knowledge workers' employers are increasingly spending significant time and money to locate and recruit scarce, talented resources. Many large employers have orientation training to adapt recent students to their specific employer work environment. However, smaller or newer firms do not yet have the resources to scale such a program. For some, an on-the-job training opportunity is needed in order for them to obtain their "dream jobs". Merit2Work can fill these gaps.
Merit2Work is a program designed to introduce Artificial Intelligence (AI), Machine Learning (ML) and Data Science (DS) to those considering this field as a career while building critical skills as well as understanding the broader industry ecosystem. This is accomplished with a variety of tools; mentorship, assessments, skill-sharpening, experiential learning and on-the-job projects. The content allows one to start high-level and dive deeper as desired into additional content. The program can be tailored from an 'Executive Summary' to 'Hands-on execution' of learning and corresponding projects. The executive summary can be completed in 10-20 hours while those wishing to dive deep can spend 6-12 weeks with supplemental learning and projects.
