“The skills I learned in the Data Analytics Program were one of the main reasons I was able to secure a technology associate position before graduation despite having no formal experience as a technology analyst ”

“I really enjoyed the session – everything was incredibly clear and digestible. I feel like I got a great grasp of Tableau in such a short amount of time”

“The courses gave me the skills to work with data and deeply analyze it, but also gave me the confidence and push I needed to get into the “real world”! My superiors were amazed at my ability to display data, interpret and explain it, and give recommendations based off of said data for a project they are considering for the future. I’m sure I would not have been able to put together a presentation that exceeded my employers’ expectations if it wasn’t for this course.”
