2 TODAY S Wxx? SHORTAGE OF SKILLED DATA SCIENTIST xxxx PRACTITIONERS is not going away... Big Data is the next frontier for innovation, competition and productivity according to a report by McKinsey and Co, but in order for Big Data to create transformational value the Data Scientist deficit needs to be addressed.

3 56,000 Big Data jobs are needed in the UK by 2020, with demand for Data Scientists rising by 259%. Employers however, are finding 3 in every 4 Data Scientist roles very hard to fill. * 57,500 Is the average salary of an experienced Data Scientist. * The reason for this deficit is that Data Scientists require a scarce combination of expertise and need to be highly educated, possess the necessary technical skills and have the commercial awareness that comes from working on real-life business projects. Employers struggle to find this profile type amongst their teams. * (Source: Tech Partnership employers network, SAS, ITJobsWatch)

4 So what are the options? Having fully trained internal staff is the most effective option, however, the skills-gap cannot be filled alone by retraining and upskilling your current workforce. Talent needs to be embedded into the business but recruitment is becoming increasingly expensive as companies compete for these rare data science skillsets. Some universities have been quick off the mark to offer specialist degrees. Often taught by highly qualified academic mathematicians rather than top Data Scientists they are a good foundation but don t provide a business with a ready-to-go employee. A strong commercial sense is crucial to understand what problems are important, and this experience only comes from working on real-life industry problems. Therefore recruiting raw graduates may not hold the answer alone. A creative, long-term, cost-effective solution is needed...

5 The Data Science Talent Programme The Data Science Talent Programme offers a long-term, cost-effective alternative to expensive traditional recruitment and complements upskilling programmes within your business. We take highly educated university graduates with a 2:1 minimum from a Mathematics, Science, Technology, Engineering or related discipline and give them intensive training delivered by industry experienced Data Science practitioners. We teach the latest technical skills, including using the most in-demand software together with industry-relevant insight through practical, reallife industry projects. The result is a ready-to-go trained and commercially aware Data Scientist eager to start work in your organisation.
