Abstract for the conference program
Careers in the fields of Statistics and Data Analysis are proving to be among the fastest growing careers in today’s business environment. With data being collected across so many different areas of life, connecting us all in ways previously unimagined, the ability to analyze and extract meaningful information from such data is becoming one of the most needed skillsets across a growing number of fields, even within fields not typically associated with traditional analytics. Jeremy will discuss the skills needed to pursue such a career, offer reasons why it should be given serious consideration, and will give some examples of how such skills can be used within a business environment.
