What is a Data Essentials Apprenticeship?
As a Data Essentials Apprentice you will deliver and support an organisation’s data collection, processing and visualisation needs to help drive business decisions. An organisation may decide to have a dedicated role for this function, or to include these skills within a variety of job roles.
An apprenticeship on the Data Essentials programme is a step towards a Senior Data Technician, Data Analyst and/or Management positions.
