Graduate schools across the country are pumping out new batches of "data scientists" every few months. However, these young recruits are being denied a very significant piece of education that will legitimately allow them to excel in their new roles in industries across the world.While they come out of these programs very well versed in various programming languages, visualization practices, or data engineering methodologies, they lack a holistic view of what it takes to deliver a data product from business question to final implemented data product.This episode begins the conversation on how to change this.Data Couture is running a Kickstarter Campaign!!!!
