How to future-proof your career as a highly paid data-literate professional?

May 10, 2022

For young workers, new grads, and graduating students in Malaysia.

If you have been applying for hundreds of jobs, but still couldn't land a job, this is for you.

If you were acing it at school, but have yet to figure out what to do for work, this is for you.

If you returned to Malaysia after graduating overseas because you couldn't secure a job, this is for you.

If you have a job, but feel miserable from doing measly jobs as a lowly executive, this is for you.

If you feel lost and stressed from the pressure of succeeding, this is for you!

You dream of becoming one of the superstars at work doing what you love.

You have a strong ambition to fulfil your talents.

You want to work in tech, but can't seem to find a foothold and a direction to work towards.

You just want to be guided and someone to give you an opportunity to prove yourself!

Here's the truth about getting your first job (which is the hardest) or making an early career transition in a new field.

You're not getting your big break, not because you are not smart, lack connections, or acing the scores.

It's because you are NOT data literate.

Data literacy is the ability to read, analyze, communicate, and work with data.

Thanks to COVID, companies, big and small, have gone digital. With that in mind, employers are looking for talents who are skilled in data literacy to harness the vast amount of data to run their companies.

You could be majoring in accountancy or marketing, but you're going to get your jobs stolen by data literate accountants or data-driven marketers.

Let that sink in for a moment...

How does a digital journey look like for a Fortune 500 company?
