The 6-month Uber DSA programme is a compensated, full-time programme that consists of 3 months of classroom teaching, 3 months of on-the-job training, and 3 months of mentoring while working on significant, real-world Uber projects.
This programme is intended for people who are passionate about analytics but haven’t had the chance to work on data science problems in a cutting-edge technological setting. Participants will attend three months of classroom instruction on the principles of data science developed and directed by the University of Maryland Global Campus. The final three months of the programme will be spent working on capstone projects within our Mobility, Core Services, or Marketing organisations with Uber’s motivating Data Science professionals. Apprentices will be fast-tracked in the employment process (skip the initial stages) after finishing the six-month DSA programme in order to be interviewed for a full-time position with data science teams.
Training for this programme will take place in the Uber offices in San Francisco, CA. The DSA programme is a full-time paid apprenticeship that requires participants to be based in the San Francisco Bay Area. Start date of the programme is January 11, 2023.
