Intervention: CoRe

Passion in data science awakened. 

Having been a member of the computer science group of the CoRe programme, Alhassan has a newfound love for data science and is making efforts to develop his skills in it. He shares his story:

My name is Alhassan Kamilu from Kumasi. My CoRe experience started when I came across an advert on social media about a COVID-19 recovery and resilience programme. I got interested because I thought it was very timely and much needed. I signed up to the e-mentoring programme and joined the Computer Science Group.

I was a student before the outbreak of COVID–19 and the pandemic interrupted my education. The CoRe Programme came in at the right time to fill the huge vacuum the effects of the pandemic had created.

I had the opportunity to learn new things, especially about data science and the opportunities related

to it. The new learnings have ignited my desire to explore that area of study. I intend to enrol unto an online programme to pursue this area of science and expand my knowledge in it. This is my story and I say thanks to the CoRe mentoring programme.
