Point72 has renewed its partnership with the Data Skills for All (DS4A) initiative, a program dedicated to democratizing access to data science education and opportunity. Led by workforce development company Correlation One, DS4A focuses on empowering individuals from underrepresented communities by providing them with essential training, mentorship, and career opportunities in the fields of data science, analytics, and engineering.
As an inaugural partner of DS4A, Point72 has worked with DS4A since 2019 to provide comprehensive training, resources, and opportunities to professionals looking to pursue a career in data science. Our experienced professionals work with emerging data leaders who participate in the program, providing the tools, knowledge, resources, and confidence they need to succeed in the field.
The partnership takes a pragmatic approach by aligning Point72’s proprietary research team, Market Intelligence, with DS4A’s vision and programming.
“Our ability to hire the best candidates with diverse mindsets, skillsets, and backgrounds—and empower them to be the best versions of themselves—is key to our success. DS4A has helped us expand the funnel of our candidate pool and continue to raise the bar on our hiring standards. We are proud to be partnering with Correlation One to support this effort.” – Richard Zheng, Head of Market Intelligence Analytics
