Connect
Meet like-minded people in your field of study. Regular events bring current students and alumni together to socialize and network — both online and in person.
Community
Connect, collaborate, support.
Join our network of individuals who share your vision — alumni and current students who built the careers you want to build, in the field you want to enter.
Three pillars
What our community actually does.
Everyone joins for a different reason. The community is built around the three things you'll come back for again and again.
Collaborate
Work alongside individuals at every stage of the data career. Stay abreast of new technology, share project work, and build the kind of relationships that produce referrals.
Support
Gain access to expert individuals already doing the job. Ask questions in the forums for near-real-time answers — and give back by answering others as you grow.
What's inside
The pieces that make the network work.
Alumni Slack
Active channels for every program, plus role-specific channels (analytics, engineering, science, cloud). Open 24/7.
Monthly events
Tech talks, mock-interview nights, and career panels — at least one virtual and one in-person event every month.
Project showcase
Share what you're building. Get code review and feedback from senior engineers in the network before you ship.
Coffee chats
Opt-in monthly pairings with someone in your target role. 30-minute calls; we handle the matchmaking.
With our assistance, fellows of every background have secured great jobs.
The community isn't just events and Slack — it's a referral engine. Most NookTek alumni land their first role through a network connection rather than a cold apply.
Member voices
Stories from the network.
“I got my second offer through a coffee chat. My match worked at the company, walked me through the interview loop, and forwarded my resume to the hiring manager.”

“The Slack community is what made the program stick. Long after class ended, I'm still posting questions and learning from people two years ahead of me.”
