Jul 6, 2022

In 2019, the highest-paying entry-level jobs were in data science, at $95,000 a year. But these lucrative jobs employ a smaller percentage of women and people of color than any other field. How can we spark interest in analytics as a springboard to careers in science and technology? And how can our schools ensure that STEM programs are open and accessible to all? Robert Clayton, CEO and Founder of the Sports Analytics Club Program, joins Kevin in this episode to tell us more about the program and what we all can learn from its successes to date.
