Program Schedule
We are working to have the 2022 apprenticeship program in-person at the Berkeley Lab site. However, pending public health circumstances, the program may still need to be virtual. Participants will meet from Monday through Friday for the duration of the program. There are expectations for group and independent work.
Program Contents
The curriculum will include an introduction to python course, data science, and a number of scientific projects and experiments. Participants will be provided with the necessary materials to complete projects and interact with researchers and operations staff. All participants will give a final presentation.
Payment
Participants will be eligible for a monetary stipend during the middle and at the conclusion of the program. Students are paid for 40 hours/week (8 hours/day).
Important Dates:
