The program is specifically designed to address talent and equity gaps in a field that has historically been inaccessible for many workers, leading to significant underrepresentation of women and non-white individuals. Participants work on real-world case studies that are expected to have measurable impact on the operational performance of participating companies. <\/p>\n<p>IDB Lab will join SoftBank by providing over ten full-ride Fellowships to underrepresented candidates in <span class=\"xn-location\">Latin America<\/span> while the Miami-Dade Beacon Council will provide four full-ride fellowships for underrepresented candidates based in <span class=\"xn-location\">Miami<\/span>.<\/p>\n<p>In addition, The <span class=\"xn-location\">City of Miami<\/span> will join as an impact partner by providing twenty fellowships to <span class=\"xn-location\">Miami<\/span> talent and five fellowships to public sector workers. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;As Miami grows as a tech hub, it is important that we empower local entrepreneurs and the public sector to leverage the power of AI. We are proud to support the building of a diverse data-fluent community in <span class=\"xn-location\">Miami<\/span> through our partnership with Correlation One and SoftBank,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Francis Suarez<\/span>, the Mayor of <span class=\"xn-location\">Miami<\/span>. <\/p>\n<p>Participants in the program will receive 13 weeks of data and analytics training (plus optional Python training) while working on case studies and projects, including projects submitted by SoftBank portfolio companies. The initiative will also connect participants with mentors who will provide professional development and career coaching. At the end of the program, external participants will be connected with employment opportunities at SoftBank and leading enterprises across business, financial services, technology, healthcare, consulting, and consumer sectors. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;<span class=\"xn-location\">Miami&#8217;s<\/span> success hinges on dramatically expanding opportunity across our community and building a workforce with the skills for the jobs of tomorrow,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Matt Haggman<\/span>, Executive Vice President of The Beacon Council. &#8220;This program is an important step towards creating the innovative and equitable future we can &#8211; and must &#8211; achieve.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Training our residents to take on the jobs of the future is critical to ensuring that economic growth is shared across all communities, and to building our local talent so that more leading companies in fields like tech and data science can put down roots in <span class=\"xn-location\">Miami-Dade<\/span>,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Daniella Levine-Cava<\/span>, <span class=\"xn-location\">Miami-Dade County&#8217;s<\/span> Mayor. &#8220;I&#8217;m thrilled that this program is unlocking opportunities in a field that has historically been inaccessible for so many, and creating new, inclusive pathways to prosperity in one of the world&#8217;s fastest-growing industries.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The COVID-19 pandemic has both accelerated demand for data science talent and exacerbated the access gaps that kept so many aspiring workers locked out of opportunity,&#8221; said <span class=\"xn-person\">Rasheed Sabar<\/span> and Sham Mustafa, Co-CEOs and Co-Founders of Correlation One. &#8220;We are grateful to work with innovative employers like SoftBank that are stepping up to play a more direct role in helping the workforce prepare themselves for jobs of the future.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><b>Program and Registration Details<\/b><\/p>\n<p>DS4A Empowerment is an online program delivered in English over a 13-week period.
