About This Workshop

These days, data analysts are in high demand. That’s probably because it’s estimated that 90% of today’s data was generated in the last two years…. That’s a lot to analyze.

Join us for a free, 2-hour class to get hands-on practice with the basics of data analytics and see if you’ve got what it takes to become a data analyst yourself.

You’ll learn how to ask the right questions of your data and use basic analytic functionality in Google Sheets. Then, apply your new found analytics skills to a real-world dataset and develop recommendations based on your findings. Bonus: there will be time at the end for live Q&A with the instructor.

We'll see you in class.

Takeaways

You’ll leave this class with:

  • An understanding of what data is and how it’s used
  • Basic Google Sheets formulas and functions
  • Hands-on practice with Pivot Tables
  • Confidence to continue practicing your analytics skills

Preparation

  • This is an entry level class, so no prior knowledge is necessary.
  • We’ll send an email with class materials and the Zoom link prior to class.
  • Note: your mic and camera will be off for the duration of the class.
  • A recording will be shared via email after filling out our in-class survey.
