County College of Morris will host “Data Science Night: Data Under the Stars,” on Nov. 14, from 6:00 to 9 p.m. This free, interactive event is for students ages 15 and up, including adult-learners as well as working professionals.
Data science is one of the fastest-growing and most in-demand career fields, offering high-paying job opportunities. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics, data science jobs are expected to grow by 36% by 2031, with a median salary exceeding $100,000. With industry-leading certification and degree programs, CCM equips its graduates with the skills needed to thrive in this competitive market.
Throughout the evening, CCM faculty will be offering hands-on workshops about the building blocks of data science, such as Data Visualization with Tableau, Natural Language Processing and Graphics in Python, Excel Data Analysis and RStudio Statistical Analysis.
CCM’s Longo Planetarium will show “Illustris Data Under the Dome,” exploring a universe of data under the starry sky. CCM students and alumni, as well as members from industry and other academic partners, will provide information and facilitate discussions about working towards a fulfilling career in data science.
Participants can also discover CCM’s data analytics certificate – a flexible, five-course track, that can be completed in two semesters and applied towards an Associate of Science degree in Data Science.
Representatives from NJIT and Rowan will be on hand to review options to transfer upon graduation from CCM to earn a bachelor’s or master’s degree. CCM’s Workforce Development team will also be ready to help one explore the college’s non-credit certificate in data analytics and visualization, an impressive credential to help one break into the data science field or boost their current career!
