About the seminar:
Given the unprecedented challenges we've faced in recent years, the future holds promising opportunities to make a meaningful impact on the world. Data has become integral to virtually every aspect of society, offering boundless potential limited only by one's imagination.
For over three decades, SAS has collaborated with universities to cultivate the analytical leaders of tomorrow.
However, the global demand for analytics talent continues to outpace the available supply, posing a significant challenge to organizations' growth efforts. McKinsey's recent survey revealed a striking shortage of qualified practitioners in key tech trends, indicating a persistent STEM skills gap. Despite this, there are abundant opportunities for both educational institutions shaping the next generation of tech leaders and students seeking to gain a competitive edge in their careers.
