An Introduction to Data Analytics

How does data analytics work and how does it provide value for a business? Data analysts usually help a business do one of two things – increase revenue or reduce operation costs. Learn everything about data analytics at the workplace and discuss the pathways to turn it into a career. 

The Data Analytics Workflow

Data Analytics Hands-On

Put your hands on Python, the most popular programming language used by data scientists. Python is a beginner-friendly programming language, thanks to its straightforward syntax. Plus, it is an in-demand programming tool (you'll see it in most job requirements for data analysts) used for big data analysis, data wrangling, and to building complex machine learning models.

In this workshop – we'll start with the fundamentals of using Python for data analysis.

This will provide you with the know-how and momentum to build your skills in Python for data analytics. And with additional practice, be able to take on real data analytics projects.
