Now that you have gained valuable skills in descriptive statistics, business analysis, and data visualizations with spreadsheets, you are ready to put your new skills to use.
In this data analysis virtual experience program hosted by Forage for Accenture NA, you will work as a data analyst for Accenture. Working as part of a larger team, you will be assigned to work on a new project for a client called Social Buzz. (Go over to Forage to signup and start working on the project).
Use this project to showcase your data analysis and visualization skills. Accenture NA put in thorough work in designing and implementing this project from start to finish.
Here are the stages you will work through in the project
Requirements gathering
Data cleaning
Data modeling
After you have put your spreadsheet skills to use in the data-cleaning process, your result will be a clean data set. Research shows that data analysts/scientists spend 80% of their time on data collection, preparation, and data cleaning before they embark on data analysis. This is a very important stage in all data projects.
At the end of data analysis, you will need to communicate the insights in a clear, concise, and engaging manner to both your clients and team members too. Here, you have the opportunity to put your presentation, communications, and public speaking skills to use. You will be able to use your data visualization and storytelling skills to bring your data to life, and shine while at it!
At the end of this project and your virtual work experience program, you will be awarded a certificate that shows that you have acquired the following skills:
Project Understanding
Data Cleaning & Modeling
Data Visualization & Storytelling
Presentation to the Client
Congratulations! You have achieved a lot so far and you are putting your budding data skills to valuable use.
