Tips for Choosing the Right Programme

An apprenticeship is an amazing opportunity to learn new skills and gain insights, and we want to make sure you get the most out of your experience! Here are some tips to help you choose:

  1. Check your current skills

    Make sure there is a noticeable gap between what you already know and what you will learn in the programme. Apprenticeship programmes are designed for those eager to grow, so it's essential that you aren't overly familiar with the core material.

  2. Think about how you might apply what you’ll learn

    It’s super important that you can apply the new skills you gain in your day-to-day role. If you’re unsure about that, don’t hesitate to chat with your manager—they should be able to offer guidance and help you connect the dots.

Frequently Asked Questions

I am interested in the Advanced Data Fellowship but I’m unsure how I would use Python in my role

  • Python is a versatile programming language that can be used in a variety of roles within a company. It simplifies data analysis and manipulation through libraries such as pandas and NumPy. It’s also great at automating routine tasks, including report generation and database updates. With its web scraping capabilities, Python is a valuable tool for accumulating data from various online resources too. Its database interfacing abilities are handy for roles requiring regular data management. Moreover, with Python's machine learning capabilities, making future predictions based on existing data becomes easier thanks to its compatibility with libraries like Scikit-learn and TensorFlow.

I am unsure which of your data programs would be a better fit for me, how do I know?

  • Our data programs cater to different data needs and data users within a company. Determining which programme best fits your role will depend on how often you work with data and how you use that data:

  • Data & Insights for Business Decisions: Data helps you in your day-to-day work but is not the main focus of your role. You want to learn to clean, manipulate, and visualize data to understand it and be able to draw insights to support your work.

  • Data Fellowship: Data makes up a large part of your daily activities. You’re not just cleaning, manipulating, and visualizing data, you’ll also use it for prediction and forecasting tasks, such as predicting a business outcome or using historical data to predict future business needs.

  • Advanced Data Fellowship: At least half or more of your working hours are spent with data. Your role will go beyond that of a data analyst and will be geared towards becoming a data scientist and data leader in your organization. This is a 3.3-year program, so if you are not able to apply the more technical learnings right away, that is fine. As long as you can begin to apply them by the second and third year of the programme, this option could be right for you!
