Start your journey as a data analyst.
Data is everywhere. Every time we use our smartphone to send an email, our computer to buy online, or our tablet to watch a video. The world creates roughly 2.5 quintillion bytes of data every day, but as John Naisbitt said, “We are drowning in information but starved for knowledge.” Every department is swimming in data from sales and marketing to HR and operations, but they lack data analysts to unravel its secrets.
So, will you be the one uncovering these hidden insights and helping the company make better and faster decisions?
