MEGAWORLD Corp. is teaming up with De La Salle University (DLSU) to establish a data science institute, which will offer research-based graduate and undergraduate programs as well as training and professional courses.
Named after the listed property company’s chairman and chief executive, the Dr. Andrew L. Tan Data Science Institute (ALTDSI) aims to “train the next generation work force of data scientists, particularly professionals in the BPO (business process outsourcing) industry.”
DLSU said in a Facebook post on Monday that the institute was launched via a virtual ceremony on July 21.
Megaworld Chief Strategy Officer Kevin Andrew L. Tan was quoted as saying: “There is a huge demand for knowledge outsource professionals who can help businesses and industries grow exponentially. This partnership with DLSU to build the ALTDSI is just the first step in tapping into this huge potential.”
