• 5. Deep Learning: companies seek to train their workers to build solutions in the analysis of real-time images, voice or detection of threats, through deep learning algorithms, which are at the base of artificial intelligence applications.

• 6. Machine Learning: the objective of companies with this training is to act as a catalyst for the development and adoption of the application of learning algorithms to create programs, identify patterns or make predictions or recommendations.

• 7. Data Science with Python: data scientists aim to work with tools implemented in large companies, such as Google, YouTube or Facebook, that provide simplicity, multiplatform and the possibility of being used by various programming styles, such as the tool Python.
