Mentorship Mondays
With support from the National Student Data Corps (NSDC), the PNB Group’s LinkedIn Channel hosts weekly Mentorship Mondays – conversations about the future of data science with STEM enthusiasts of all ages, professions, and education levels from across the U.S. and beyond!
Each week, our team poses a question to the community (e.g., “How can I differentiate myself in a tough job market?” or “How do I effectively discuss my research in an interview?”). PNB members and our team of mentors weigh in, sharing their experiences as data science professionals.
Meet the Mentors!
Mentors come from a wide range of academic and professional backgrounds, but all share an enthusiasm for data science and a desire to foster the next generation of data scientists.
