Vector Institute is collaborating with Phase AI, a company dedicated to supporting data professionals in connecting, learning, and advancing their careers to run a three-part webinar series to accelerate your career in AI.
The AI landscape is evolving and so too are the diverse array of data/AI career pathways possible. Are you curious about recent developments in data careers that you should be aware of?

This webinar will explore:
- Types of AI/data roles and career pathways from analysts to machine learning researchers
- How to align your skills and competencies with the roles and companies you want to work at
- Leveraging your previous experience to position you for success in hybrid career pathways
- What these nuances mean for your online presence and applications
