However, if this poses an issue, please tell us - we will not bar participation based on inability to pay the fee.

Is this a program by the Technion?

No!

DataCoach is not an academic program, and it is not part of the Technion or any other academic institutions!

The Faculty of Data and Decision Sciences at The Technion is a partner of the program, and has commited to contribute time and knowledge to help participant get the best complementary training, but the main goal of the program is coach you through the best way to get into the data science profession: By pursuing the appropriate academic degrees at the best possible academic institutions.

Question 4

Will you give out scholarships?

Accepted Answer

We will not give out scholarships, but we will attempt to assist you with getting one of the many existing relevant scholarships.

Question 5

Can I volunteer or contribute to the program in any way?

Accepted Answer

Sure you can!

Like a true non-profit, DataHack tries to harness the power of the amazing Israeli data science community to power its projects. Specifically, government funding for the DataCoach project covers only the most basic operational costs (rent, food, salary for the program operational manager).

Three major aspects of the program are based on volunteering:
1. Lectures and workshops.
2. Monthly mentoring sessions (on Zoom) from a personal mentor.
3. Hands-on data sciecen projects on real-world problems.
If you, as a person or as a representative of a company, wishes to volunteer for any of these aspects, please write to us to datacoach@datahack.org.il (mailto:datacoach@datahack.org.il)!

We are also looking for corporate sponsorship of scholarships for advanced degrees or advanced training programs, and are always looking for partnerships; you can contact us regarding these matters to datacoach@datahack.org.il (mailto:datacoach@datahack.org.il).
