Divergence Academy is an education institution that is creating adaptive learning solutions to empower individuals to pursue the work they love on the most relevant skills of the 21st century – from web development to data science to product management.
Established in 2014 as the first Data Science focused institution in the DFW area, we are making a new world of education at the intersection of product, marketing, and technology accessible to students and professionals pursuing careers in hybrid roles through our Innovation with Analytics approach. Our Data to Data Product is a custom learning solution for corporations. It is the result of our deep domain knowledge in big data and analytics, blended learning approaches with seamless assimilation of online content from different sources into the learner’s experience, and mentor-driven models along with labs and knowledge back office to maximize training with results.
Become an Architect – Work much faster than today with augmented reality visualization and virtual reality headsets. Provide solutions that fit within the constraints of space, budget and aesthetic style.
Lead Machines – Computers can’t see the context, connection and patterns that humans can, despite crunching vast amounts of data at speed.
Advisor – Communication of advice and the contextualized understanding of the best course of action for a specific patient is best handled by humans. The role of the specialist human will be to mediate between the wonders of automation and the needs and desires of the patient or customer.
Skills such as cloud computing and data science management have never been more in demand than they are now. Tech companies across the nation are seeking qualified professionals who can bring this knowledge with them. Still, despite a clear need, there seem to be few viable solutions for the tech talent shortage. Divergence Academy represents a model solution that allows employers and aspiring professionals to benefit from expert-led training and upskill sourcing offered in conjunction with an innovative job placement program.
