Job description
Working with data is fundamentally about driving positive change. Whether optimising business processes, enhancing public services, fostering scientific breakthroughs or addressing global challenges, understanding current circumstances and adapting to new strategies are critical for success.
A huge volume of data is produced everyday, but it is often messy and ambiguous. Data professionals help to make the data useful and deliver insights that support decision making at the highest levels. This importance is reflected in the boardroom; in 2021 42% of European publicly listed companies had a Chief Data Officer (CDO).
Embracing a career in data will position you at the forefront of digital transformation, providing unparalleled access to today's decision-makers and tomorrow's leaders. By choosing to embark on this journey with us, you will not only gain the expertise to navigate the complexities of data but also accelerate your career trajectory. Join us and unleash the power of data to drive positive change and make a lasting impact in the world.
Our offer
- Three-four months of proven high-quality technical and professional training in a wide range of data skills that are in high demand, followed by work using technology to make a positive impact;
- Training like it should be: “This is what university should have been” and “by the end I was work-ready” - even though it is largely remote learning and unpaid our consultants consistently praise our level of support with attentive coaches who make themselves available through regular 121s and low trainee/coach ratios;
- Training is just the beginning: we provide coaching, mentoring, technical support, high-performance mindset training and more while you work for our clients with the aim of life-long success;
- Our commitment to you is to get you into a technology role: we can’t guarantee a particular role or industry but we work hard at placing people where they have the opportunity to thrive;
- You don’t need coding experience to apply as we will offer support to ensure you are ready for the technical assessment at the end of our hiring process. We will also support you before the start of training so that you are where you need to be We will provide laptops and cover any travel and accommodation expenses during training.
