Interns, in their own words
What interns and graduates wrote, three months in and after they finished.
Apply to the next cohortAn incredible learning journey, it helped me stay accountable and complete numerous projects within six months, with something new to learn every step of the way. I’m truly grateful.
Before joining DataraFlow, I had a foundational understanding of machine learning, but my approach was heavily project-driven with gaps in conceptual clarity.
Dataraflow for me is really an eye-opener. My most important skill I'm developing right now is teamwork and all thanks to Nanfe, my team lead. She's so good at carrying everyone along.
The internship so far hasn't been easy, but it has been productive.
A very nice experience in all aspects... the program really helped me on how to manage my time.
Dataraflow has been a really great learning experience. I got to learn in a clear, step-by-step way.
Despite being completely new to the world of data science, python, and even coding at all, the last 3 months have been exceedingly rewarding.
3 months in Dataraflow, it's been the best internship. It's amazing and surprising that this is free. No way!
I've had a wonderful experience so far. The community based learning has been so helpful especially for me as a beginner.
Dataraflow program has helped me learn concepts i couldn't take the time to study on my own.
I have always wanted to be part of an intensive data science program, and DataraFlow truly feels like an answered prayer.
This internship has been a journey of resilience, exposure and growth. I've learnt so much already and connected with great minds.
