Learned a lot + met some great people = a fantastic few years - Data Analyst Digital Futures Employee Review

I completed the programme and joined as a trainee data analyst and honestly found the whole experience so much fun and incredibly valuable. The training covered key tools like SQL, Python and data visualisation and it’s structured in a way that builds your confidence quickly, even if you’re coming from a non-traditional background (like me!) One of the best parts for me was the people. I made some great friends in my cohort and was lucky enough to be placed with them at the same organisation for a few years, which made such a difference to the overall experience. The socials are always a good time too, and things like the awards nights are a really nice touch. The delivery team kept in touch with me throughout my time as a data analyst and I always felt genuinely supported and looked after. I’m really sad to be leaving because Digital Futures has had such a meaningful impact on me, both personally and professionally. It’s given me opportunities I don’t think I would have had otherwise, and I’ll always be incredibly grateful for that. I also had amazing support from my mentor (pre-programme) and the wider team. You can really feel that people care about your progress and want you to do well. I always felt comfortable asking questions and learning from those around me which made such a difference. The client placement side is also a HUGE highlight obviously. Getting that real-world corporate experience so early on completely changed my confidence and made breaking into the industry feel achievable
