Debbie Scott, Programmes Manager at SERC said: “Our Data Analytics Academy graduates have taken on an intensive programme to gain industry relevant qualifications and experience. The next step is a 10-week placement with a local business.

“This is a win-win opportunity for everyone - placements are fully funded by the Department for the Economy’s Digital Futures initiative so there is no cost to the employer who will have access to fresh talent for 10 weeks and the graduate gains valuable experience of the business. The graduates have the latest IT skills specialising in data analytics and are equipped to get the most out of customer and supplier data which could help drive strategy and marketing decisions in all kinds of businesses.”
