Data Analytics Career Accelerator

Week 1: Excel & Data Cleaning

During the first week, interns will focus on mastering essential data cleaning techniques using Excel. The dataset comprises Retail Sales data from Rwanda with over 1,500 rows. Key tasks include exploring the dataset to understand its structure, handling missing values to ensure data completeness, correcting any inconsistencies for data accuracy, and recalculating totals where necessary. Additionally, interns will create pivot tables and charts to visualize sales patterns and summaries. The deliverables for this week are a cleaned Excel file, pivot tables demonstrating key insights, and a concise report (1–2 pages) summarizing the cleaning process and initial findings.

Week 2: Python (Pandas, Matplotlib, Seaborn)

In the second week, the focus shifts to using Python for data analysis. The dataset involves HR Employee data from Rwanda, containing over 1,200 rows. Interns will learn to load datasets into Jupyter Notebooks and perform data cleaning tasks such as handling missing values, correcting data types, and performing feature engineering to create new variables like age and tenure. Descriptive statistics will be computed to understand data distributions. Visualizations using Matplotlib and Seaborn will help explore relationships and patterns. The deliverables include a well-documented Jupyter Notebook, charts and visualizations, and a report (Report #2) highlighting exploratory data analysis insights.

Week 3: SQL Analysis

The third week introduces SQL for data analysis. Combining Retail Sales and HR data, each with over 1,500 rows, interns will import datasets into a SQL environment. Tasks involve writing SQL scripts to aggregate revenue per employee and department, filtering data, joining tables to combine relevant information, and analyzing top customers and cities. The deliverables are SQL scripts, query result outputs, and a report (Report #3) summarizing key insights derived from the SQL analysis.

Week 4: Power BI Dashboarding

In week four, participants will learn to build interactive dashboards using Power BI. Using the cleaned Retail Sales dataset, interns will import data into Power BI, develop dashboards showcasing sales trends, top-performing products, and payment methods. They will enhance dashboards with slicers and KPIs for better interactivity. The final output includes a Power BI (.pbix) file, exported PDF dashboards for presentation, and a report (Report #4) providing insights and actionable recommendations based on the visualizations.

Week 5 (Optional 0.5 Month): Capstone Project & GitHub

The final optional week allows interns to undertake a comprehensive capstone project, choosing topics such as sales prediction, employee performance analysis, or dashboard development. They will document all analysis steps thoroughly and publish their code, datasets, and reports on a GitHub repository. The deliverables include the GitHub repo, a final presentation summarizing the project, and a comprehensive report (Report #5) reflecting the entire analysis process, methodologies, key findings, and recommendations.
