How Andrew Transitioned into Data Science
Andrew Collins came from a mechanical engineering background but struggled finding long-term satisfaction in the industry.
"I liked solving problems," he explained. "I just didn't enjoy the work environment anymore."
Eventually, he discovered data analytics and enrolled at SkyStates.
Learning How Data Drives Business Decisions
"The trainers connected analytics to actual business problems instead of teaching random theory," Andrew said.
He also appreciated how responsive the student support team remained throughout the program.
"You never felt ignored or forgotten."
The career support team helped him completely reposition his previous engineering experience.
"They showed me how to present my engineering background as analytical and problem-solving experience."
Turning Existing Skills Into a New Career
Andrew eventually accepted a data analyst role with a logistics company.
"Looking back, changing careers was one of the best decisions I've ever made," he said.
