ABSA and Zindi, the largest professional network for data scientists in Africa, recently held a data science career day to discuss the role that data science and data analytics play in the financial services industry.
“South Africa is experiencing a data-scientist shortage, By collaborating with networks like Zindi, we hope to not only provide young people with critical skills but also foster and retain data-science talent in the technology sector.”
