L2: GETTING UNSTUCK Jobs are like elevators: you can get stuck in them. Avoid getting trapped in a mind-numbing routine by taking a course that will stretch your mind. An art course maybe. Or a writing course. Or you can join a choir. Just don’t sing in the elevator.

DO CANCELLED COURSES BRING YOU DOWN?

Of course they do. It’s like running for

an elevator only to have the doors close

when you’re three feet away. The thing

is, courses that don’t meet the minimum

number of participants get cancelled.

And since cancellation decisions are

usually made two weeks before the

course starts, it’s a good idea to register

before then.

Add one of the most sought-after skills in the workplace to your portfolio: data analysis. Companies have never had access to so much data, but surprisingly, it is rare for companies to have someone with the ability to analyze that data to see trends and make predictions. You can be this person.

to leverage data analysis for anticipating trends and making critical business decisions.

• Digital marketers, required to understand what resonates with users and communicate with business stakeholders.

• Product Managers who need to rely on user data to determine new features, improvements and changes.

THE PROGRAM

Three online courses and one Capstone Project must be completed in order to receive the Award of Achievement. The Capstone Project is completed under the guidance of an instructor. If you opt to take the three courses only, you won’t receive an Award of Achievement, but will receive a certificate as acknowledgement you have com-pleted the three courses.

THE COURSES

Each course is delivered 100% online and each is one month in duration:• Introduction to Data Analysis (page 7)• Intermediate Data Analysis (page 7)• Advanced Data Analysis (page 7)

*DATA ANALYSIS CAPSTONE PROJECT

The Capstone Project is a mandatory component of the Award in Achievement in Data Analysis. The pro-ject is pre-approved and evaluated by the instructor and is typically completed within four to six weeks.

WHAT IS THE CAPSTONE PROJECT?• Guidance and coaching from an experienced

instructor

• An opportunity to apply skills learned in course work

• A project in data analysis defined by you, for your own or for another organization

WHY A CAPSTONE PROJECT?• Apply the skills you learned in class to a real-world,

practical experience of your choice.

• Show them you did it! There is nothing as powerful as proof that you have worked on a real-world problem for a real organization. Skills + experience = a strong resume builder.

• Do it even better! Get coaching and feedback on a data project that you were going to do anyway.
