Encouraging Education on Data

Because industries are pouring more and more resources into recording data and the benefits that come with it, there is a greater need for the next generation to be educated in this area. 

Just think about it; there are so many companies that are realizing the need for data and its use. Industries like Water & Wastewater, Oil & Gas, and Electric Utilities use big data on a daily basis. But do we really know how to use big data like we think we do? Just think about how many jobs in America deal with big data. With the use of data comes the need to be educated to use it to its best advantage. People need to know not only how to collect the data, but also use the software that records it. People need to know how to read the data and interpret the results.

There is a Growing Need to Develop Classes
about Big Data
We have seen this need, and want to make a contribution to satisfying it. Canary Labs has extended an offer to engineering colleges across the country to help them develop a course that will benefit students going into these industries. 
This includes the use of our software to use to educate students on how to use historians and trending tools in the field. We also want to help by giving the college suggestions for course content. Our desire to see this need fulfilled is so strong that, we are even willing to make visits to the college to help them in person. We realize the value of education and we want to see more long-term jobs created; this offer is one way that we can help. 

Not only does this offer benefit the college, it also benefits the various industries who use big data. When companies look for new people to hire, they look for the best person suited to the position. People who have this knowledge have the advantage because these skills are in high demand, so it also benefits the student taking the class.

Education is key in building industries and making them stronger. 

If you know of a college that is interested in adding an engineering course about big data, have them contact us at 814-793-3770.
