Artefact acquires VIVADATA and launches Artefact School of Data

The rapid growth Artefact has enjoyed in recent years has necessitated non-stop recruitment of data science and software engineering talent. The same applies to the agency’s clients, who are looking to recruit new profiles and train or upskill their employees.

这种需求受到了整个数据价值链上所有专业人员的缺乏的挑战。在2020年，QuantHub估计将有25万名数据科学家的缺口，以满足公司的需求。世界经济论坛将数据分析师和数据科学家置于未来五年需求量最大的职业名单的首位。它的《2020年未来工作报告》也表明，9700万个工作岗位应该出现在人类、机器和算法之间的新分工中。

To meet this challenge, it was natural for Artefact to approach VIVADATA, a top-level professional training programme which the agency has worked with for several years.

Artefact School of Data was born from the union of these two forces, offering technical, practical and open training sessions to all motivated candidates who wish to accelerate their careers.

Artefact School of Data’s offer is aimed at two audiences: companies and individuals.

The first group consists of the employees of Artefact’s client organisations. The agency supports its clients from start to finish, including training or upskilling their employees within the framework of AI project deployment.

The second group consists of students and professionals who wish to specialise, refresh their skills or retrain. This talent pool will have the skills to meet the specific needs of the market. Artefact is committed to recruiting participants from each graduating class and proposing candidates to companies within its network of partners.

Artefact School of Data was born from the union of these two forces, offering technical, practical and open training sessions to all motivated candidates who wish to accelerate their careers.

Data is an essential pillar in the development of our societies, in the understanding and control of our environment in all its dimensions. It also concerns a range of future professions with strong potential for employability. Artefact wants to promote access to these careers for all without social, generational or geographical divides.

The launch of Artefact School of Data will enable us to offer an inclusive training programme and to detect new talent wherever it may be, thanks to a wide range of support measures, scholarships, sponsorship and fieldwork with public authorities.

This ambitious programme with an expanded catalogue of training programmes for data and digital marketing professions will be rolled out rapidly, and deployed internationally from 2022.
