Analytics is an exciting career due to the high demand for professionals who can analyze data and provide insights,, the chance to work with cutting-edge tools and technologies, and the satisfaction of making a significant impact on businesses and organizations. Starting a career in analytics as a fresher from a non-tech background can be challenging, but it is not impossible.
Today we bring to you the inspiring journey of Roshni Jain, a student at Ivy Professional School who successfully migrated from a non-tech background to the role of a data analyst in Capgemini.
Roshni: I had no idea about data science before i joined Ivy Professional School. I studied in Rajasthan Vidyamandir Kolkata and then pursued a B.Com degree from THK Jain College (graduating in 2021). In the same year, I joined Ivy Professional School.
Roshni: One of my relatives introduced me to the field of data science and I spent several hours researching about it online. I wanted to make an informed decision about the career prospects and the scope of an analytics career before taking a plunge. While researching, I discovered Ivy Professional School and was quite impressed with the course structure. I decided to enquire more about the course and received detailed counselling from Ivy to understand which course will suit me the most. I finally opted for the Data science with Data Visualization course.
Roshni: The course allowed me to learn all the crucial skills to kickstart my analytics career. Some of the important things I learnt include:
Roshni: When I started my data science course, I was completely blank about what data was and how to approach it. However, as I progressed through the classes, I began to understand the concepts better, and my motivation to pursue data science grew stronger.
What I appreciated most about the course was its short duration of just 8-9 months, with well-planned modules that were easy to follow. Additionally, having supportive faculty like Eeshani Ma’am and Prateek sir who were always available to help was a great benefit. I was amazed at how much I learned during the course, going from zero knowledge of data to gaining a deep understanding of every topic in the field. The experience was challenging but rewarding and made me feel confident in my ability to apply what I’ve learned in a professional setting.
I also benefitted from the course greatly as it emphasised on preparing reports and projects, which gave me practical experience and the opportunity to demonstrate my skills to potential employers. As someone from a non-tech background, this was particularly helpful in landing a job in the field. I am extremely grateful for the knowledge and skills I gained from this course and the support I received from my faculty. Joining Ivy was a life-changing experience that opened up a world of opportunities for me in the field of data science.
