I look forward to more insightful discussions on this topics, so that Civil Engineering Managers can include these considerations in their companies' training programs.

Subject: Preparing for the "New Normal": Practical Automation and Data Science

As we have already discussed extensively in one of the Thursdays @3 session, all of us, whether we are in technical or managerial positions, are working on plans and actions to prepare for the "New Normal" in the Workplace. While our industries are changing in order to sustain in the new normal, I would like to extend the invitation to my peers to join this upcoming Practical Automation and Data Science info session on Friday June 12 from 12-1PM CDT.

The webinar will explain a pattern happening in the last ten years: people who can automate processes and drive decisions from data science get hired and do better on the job than their peers. It will also introduce a virtual program to empower professionals with these skills using Python and Visual Basic. Similar programs offered by Inly, LLC in the past have been well received by professional societies like Society of Petroleum Engineers (SPE) and American Association of Petroleum Geologists (AAPG), and by multinational organizations like Intel and AECOM. This summer, Inly, LLC is offering the program to the general public and cutting the price in half. It features many benefits not typical of software skillbuilding courses that make it much more practical.  

Please feel free to forward this invite to your friends, family members, clients, colleagues, and/or those who might be thinking of investing for the future - learn new skills in order to be more adaptive in the "new normal" workplace. The program can be open to college students and/or high school graduates if they successfully pass the application interview. If you have questions, please feel free to contact the webinar event's facilitator: Alec Walker via email <maskemail>info@...</maskemail>.
