Butler University Executive Education, which offers certification programs and test preparation for individuals and companies, plans to launch a data analytics boot camp designed to fill the number of job openings within the Indianapolis, Indiana area.
The university will partner with Trilogy Education, a technology education organization.
Last year, Indianapolis employers struggled to fill more than 23,000 open jobs that required some level of data proficiency – reflecting an issue across the nation. Data scientists, business analysts and research analysts are among the fastest-growing professions in the nation, Burning Glass reported.
“The number of job openings in Indianapolis requiring data-analytics skills was 53 percent higher in 2018 than the year before,” said Dan Sommer, CEO and founder of Trilogy Education. “Butler recognizes that this growth in demand is creating a gap between the skills companies need and the ability of Indianapolis’ workforce to supply those skills at scale.”
The 24-week program, Butler Executive Education’s Data Analytics Boot Camp, will teach analytical, technical and teamwork skills. The curriculum helps students become proficient in data programs such as Excel, Tableau, Python, Pandas, SQL, MongoDB, JavaScript and basic machine learning.
This boot camp aims to help adults who are looking for a career change or those who desire to advance themselves in their current job positions.
