There is no mistaking that every article from those penned by Gartner Research to those on Monster.com shows that big data and data analytics is the next big thing. Companies all over the United States and around the world are clamoring for trained data analytics professionals, but there always seems to be a deficit in the number or trained individuals for these jobs.
At RSquare Edge, we constant hear people talking about the challenges of completing data analytics training in New York. Typically these individuals have a limited understanding of the field, and they have been provided in inaccurate information from some source or another.
To help to clear up some of the misunderstandings, let’s take a look at some common misunderstandings that prevent individuals from considering and completing data analytics training.
Too Technical for Current Abilities
While there is an element of technical understanding required to operate the software and tools used to collect, sort and analyze data, it doesn’t require a deep understanding of computer languages or software development.
Many of the students who come to RSquare Edge in New York for our CDAP training are not computer science majors and may not have extensive history in data analytics. Instead, they have experience in problem solving, creative and strategic planning, and in the ability to see a big picture idea and support it with data.
The Program is Too Long
With part-time programs or online programs the training can be very lengthy and tends to be more problematic for students to complete. This is why RSquare Edge designed a twelve-week intensive immersion program that allows you to complete your data analytics training and also have job possibilities immediately after completion.
Within the 12-week program, students will have been taught by some of the leaders in the field of big data, and will also have lectures from leading business professionals hiring for these positions.
Limited Market for Trained Individuals
With big data and data analytics driving almost all business decisions in major companies, startups and even small business, the demand for data professionals is only going to increase.
Not only is data analytics a big market, with less than 20% of jobs filled by qualified individuals, it is also a very lucrative career. It is definitely a career to consider if you are a problem-solver, a creative thinker, and enjoy working with data to develop workable solutions to complex problems.
