They are eager to learn about this new opportunity being presented. Attendees are intrigued by the cutting edge education offered by Partners in Skills, the evolving field of AI and Data Science and the high earning potential it presents.
The evening starts with an informative and exciting presentation by Partners in Skills.

A unique aspect of the Partners in Skills training is the ability to receive stipends to pay for the education. This gives a wider spectrum of women the opportunity to gain access to high level education and attendees are interested in hearing more.
A panel of past Partners in Skills graduates is then presented to the audience. Graduates tell about the high level of pedagogy they received, the personalized guidance and coaching of the staff and the level of independence they reached in Data Science and Data Engineering. Graduates discussed the technical aspects of the training and the time commitment they needed.

The panel then opened the floor for the audience, and a lively Question and Answer Session ensued. Many of the questions focused on the technicalities of the scheduling, the stipends received and the workload. There were also many questions about the projects the graduates are involved in now and the overall experience they had when entering the workforce.
Attendees are now invited to apply for acceptance to the course.
