Luca Malinverno, Data Scientist, Porini
Context
- Porini, a DGS Group company specialising in innovative digital solutions, designed a custom course for its client’s 12 new employees, to teach them company-specific methodologies and software, facilitating the transition from university to work.
Action
- Developing a 2-month onboarding course following the Kolb Cycle, intended as a means to (self) evaluate the employees’ grasp of the topics addressed.
Challenge
- Dealing with different levels of degrees: ranging from bachelor’s to master’s and PhD.
- Meeting the needs of employees with different professional profiles and experience in ICT.
Key takeaways
- Incorporate hands-on labs with real-life scenarios and use cases throughout the course.
- Establish a clearly defined trajectory from the outset, to avoid the presentation of disparate technologies or data analysis stages as independent pipelines.
