“My degree in Statistics laid a strong foundation into the career I wanted to do but many of the job postings in data analytics require experience in programming tools like SQL, Python, and R. The Google Data Analytics Certificate transformed my path by giving me the opportunity of learning the skills and technologies that many employers utilize today. Pairing the Google Career Certificates with college majors opens doors and opportunities to help students pursue their dream jobs.”
