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 Q&A with the instructor.
