DATA ANALYSIS TRAINING OVERVIEW
An increasing demand for young professionals who are proficient in data analysis to identify trends and patterns for limitless business growth cannot be discounted. Among the various digital tools used for data analysis, Microsoft Excel is the most popular. A research report by Burning Glass Technologies has confirmed that 8 out of 10 middle skills jobs require proficiency in Excel. It is against this background that AYE has developed the Data Analysis training to offer young professionals the needed Excel skills to help them break into the next level of their professional endeavors. This professional development training is fully funded by AYE and will come at no cost to participants.
