Overview
A 7-week, 75-hour hybrid course in Python programming for data work, run by Goodwill Central Texas's accredited career academy.
The Goodwill Career & Technical Academy (GCTA) is the training arm of Goodwill Central Texas. It offers accelerated certification courses in healthcare, IT, and business, and describes its training as available at little to no cost to eligible students. Python for Data Science is a 7-week, 75-contact-hour hybrid course with a listed price of $3,500 before financial assistance.
Because the course is hybrid, students can complete much of the work from home, which removes a major barrier for people with mobility or chronic health conditions and for people who depend on limited transit schedules. GCTA shares a campus with Goodwill Central Texas's employment services, so students can move straight from training into job coaching and placement support.
Python and data skills are in demand across the Austin economy, from tech companies to state agencies and hospitals. A short, affordable course like this one is a realistic on-ramp for career changers, including people returning to work after a disability-related gap in employment.
