Jan 15, 2025
Recommendation: Data Science & Software Engineering programs require curriculum redesign. High completion (>80%) but persistent gap index (0.48, 0.41) suggests training content mismatch with actual role requirements. Immediate action: stakeholder workshop to re-scope learning objectives and validation rubric.
