Continuum Analytics Launches Anaconda Skills Accelerator Program

March 7 — Continuum Analytics, the creator and driving force behind Anaconda, the leading modern open source analytics platform powered by Python, today launched its Anaconda Skills Accelerator Program (ASAP). The new professional development residency program, led by a team of world class experts, is highly selective and brings together scientists, physicists, mathematicians and engineers to tackle challenging real world projects. Participants will use advanced technology and pragmatic techniques across a broad set of technical areas including—data management, analytic modeling, visualization, high performance computing on multi-core CPUs and GPUs, vectorization and modern distributed computing techniques such as Spark and Dask.

“One of the greatest challenges affecting our industry is the disconnect between the data science needs and expectations of enterprises and the current skills of today’s scientists, mathematicians and engineers,” said Travis Oliphant, CEO and co-founder of Continuum Analytics. “Fostering true data science experts requires more than traditional training programs. Continuum Analytics’ ASAP empowers professionals with the necessary technology and hands on experience to tackle big data challenges and solve the data problems that are inside every organization today.”

Participants emerge from this residency program as Certified Anaconda Professionals (CAP), enabling them to manage challenging data science and data engineering problems in business, science, engineering, data analytics, data integration and machine learning.
