The Problem

By 2020, data science and analytics jobs in the US are projected to grow by 15 percent—much faster than average. As AI and the rapid emergence of new technologies transform the workplace, businesses will be forced to reevaluate their talent, strategies, and workforce needs. And to fill these jobs, individuals will need to become agile data thinkers.

Refactored.ai's on-demand reskilling platform increases data literacy across organizations and transforms employees into data thinkers.

Refactored.ai ensures that everyone—regardless of age, race, income, or current occupation—is set up to succeed in an AI-driven future.
