Data Analytics Program in Community Colleges in Preparation for STEM and HPC Careers
DescriptionStudents in community colleges are either interested in a quick degree or a skill that allows them to enter into a career area while minimizing debt. Attending a four-year university can be a challenge, and acceptance can be competitive.

The job market is challenged to hire and retain diverse staff especially within High Performance Computing (HPC) or a government laboratory. Higher salaries, potentially better benefits, or opportunities for remote work are contributing factors for this industry.

To encourage interest in HPC, NERSC partnered with Laney College to create a Data Analytics Program. Once Laney faculty learn how to teach the classes toward a certificate program, they fill a need for their students to build the skill in data analytics toward a career or to continue toward a four-year degree as transfer students.

We describe how NERSC partners with Laney to create a pipeline toward a data analytics career.
