What We Do

We connect talent with opportunity.

Starting with the top graduates we put them through a three month programme of data science and machine learning. They learn not just to become great technicians but great professionals. Ready and capable for the corporate world.

They are then placed with companies, adding real value by contributing across the full data spectrum. Whether it be Business Intelligence, Data Engineering, Analysis, Architecture and more.
