My experience in the Data Analytics…
My experience in the Data Analytics path at Springboard was and continues to be exceptional. I'm a career changer, having taught high school mathematics, specifically AP Statistics, for twenty years. Before that I had worked in the finance industry. I left teaching before COVID but wanted to find a better use of my brain. I had to take my business skills and update them for today's big data analysis: SQL, Python and the proliferation of relational databases. I feel that the program has prepared me well, making me a competitive candidate for remote work, which is a priority for my desired work/life balance. The weekly mentor calls are invaluable, the projects along the way to build one's portfolio and the programmed career coaching keep one on track. One needs to be self motivated and self disciplined to complete the curriculum. I am working under a Job Guarantee and tuition deferment plan that made this a no-brainer. I can highly recommend this program and have done so when I have told people about my new path.
