You will complete a comprehensive training programme with a chosen provider and will be guided on every step of your apprenticeship journey. Data analysts have an interesting and varied set of responsibilities that vary depending on project requirements and personal drive. They could involve performing initial analysis on raw data, clarifications on business requirements, data validation, processing, governance, visualisation, testing and automation.
The Data Analyst is often the first person to interact with new data within the team, so is responsible for initial classification and cleansing of the data, along with providing information to the data engineers. They will also help people from the business understand the value of their data and insights that can come from it.
