Entry-Level Developer Program
The program starts off with structured training and 3rd party certifications. Continuation in the program and an offer of employment are contingent upon adequate progress and demonstrated commitment at each stage. The core training curriculum used will be from the Udacity School of Artificial Intelligence’s “Udacity for Enterprise” programs augmented with customized projects. Udacity serves over 100 Global Companies with partners that include Google, IBM, Facebook, GE, Amazon, AT&T, BMW, Accenture, Cisco, and Credit Suisse.
Graduates of our program will have earned world-class credentials that will transfer throughout their career. The selected courses are designed by Sebastian Thrun, Peter Norvig, and Ian Goodfellow – three of the most influential and innovative leaders in the field of Artificial Intelligence.
Learning is hands on (project based) using interaction with Amazon Alexa and IBM Watson as well as the company’s own resources. Participants receive detailed and actionable feedback on every project that they submit, from a network of experienced project reviewers.
Although Udacity Nanodegree programs are typically completed online with a 10-hour a week commitment, we will be accelerating the model, delivering it in cadres, and adding additional depth. The programs will be completed in a cadre of 6-12 candidates, onsite in a typical development environment, with an onsite Guide.
