Career Progression

Our Skills Bootcamp in Data will give you a comprehensive understanding of the world of data. From here, learners can apply their new skills immediately within their current role, or use these new skills to pursue a brand new career working with data.

Skills Bootcamps are commonly referred to as “pre-apprenticeship programmes.” For those looking to continue their professional development, and better improve their skills, or enter a completely new industry – an apprenticeship programme could be the next step.

Our recommended progression route for this Skills Bootcamp is our Level 3 Junior Data Analyst apprenticeship. After completing this Skills Bootcamp, our friendly team will help learners plan their next steps, help them enrol on an apprenticeship programme with their current employer, or secure an apprenticeship position with an employer local to them.

PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT

Apprenticeships aren’t just for new hires, they’re a powerful tool for CPD. Whether you’re looking to enhance your team’s performance or utilise your Apprenticeship Levy, our higher apprenticeships could be the perfect solution.

Professional Development

I didn’t have any practical experience in data analysis, so I knew I needed to develop my data skills and improve my CV. It’s not easy securing a job in this field without the relevant work experience, even for junior positions, so I knew I needed to build my knowledge before I could secure a job in the field.

My advice to women considering a career in the Tech industry is… BE BOLD! Don’t let stereotypes hold you back. An apprenticeship is definitely worth considering due to the amount of support you receive, mountains of industry experience, and the benefits of earning while you train, leaving you free to enjoy your home life.
