Data Analytics Fellowship
Whether you're curious about diving deep into numbers to uncover hidden patterns or building dashboards that make data come alive, there's a place for you in this industry. You will dive into real-world projects, harnessing the power of data to creatively drive impactful change. In one year, you will become a visionary and analytical leader, ready to jumpstart a career in a rapidly evolving digital world.
Build the skills
We'll help you develop the skills you need to become a data storyteller and strategic problem-solver, ready to thrive in any business context. Data Analysts leverage tools like Python, SQL, and Excel to clean, explore, and interpret data. You'll master how to analyze datasets, create compelling visualizations using tools like Tableau or Power BI, and craft insightful reports that drive business decisions. You’ll also build a foundation of critical business skills such as project management, product management, and communication/storytelling to drive meaningful impact in an evolving digital landscape. Throughout your journey, you'll work on hands-on projects that hone your skills and help you build a strong portfolio to get you job-ready and set you apart across industries.

Build Yourself
We take our leadership and personal development curriculum just as seriously as we take our technical foundation. From day one, we help you build upon your strengths, establish your goals and values, understand your leadership style, own your expertise, step into wealth, and develop a cache of resilience to back it all up.
Leadership Seminar
You’ll read books about race, class, gender, and politics. You'll uncover solutions to your communities' most pressing problems. You’ll learn about your personal values and how they shape your leadership style, and you’ll gain valuable professional skills like how to write effective resumes, negotiate a salary, communicate with your manager, and so much more to get you undeniably job-ready.
Coaching
Just like any other coach in your life, you will set goals together, and your coach will help you reach them. Whether you're paralyzed with anxiety when talking on the phone, struggling with your confidence, or need to talk to your family about your financial expectations for yourself—this is where we’ve got your back.
Mentorship
You’ll be matched with a mentor and catch up with them regularly over coffee, a Zoom meeting, or a visit to their office. They’ll help you practice for interviews, give you feedback on your assignments, take you out to lunch in their company cafeteria, and be one of your first professional connections to help you build your network.
In the End...
You'll be able to unlock a world of possibilities and shape the future of our data-driven world, stepping into roles that fit your interests and strengths—such as product manager, business intelligence analyst, or even marketing analyst—while giving you the power to make a real impact. The key to a better future for yourself, your community, and beyond starts here.
