Data Analyst
Step into the role of a data analyst assigned to investigate a business performance issue. You’ll dig into real data, uncover patterns, build visualizations, and present your findings to decision-makers—while navigating ambiguity, incomplete info, and high expectations for clarity and impact.
Overview
In this live simulation, you’ll investigate a real business problem using messy, incomplete data—and decide what insights actually matter. You’ll work under pressure to analyze datasets, create visualizations, and communicate your findings to a simulated stakeholder. It’s built to mirror the pace, ambiguity, and decision-making challenges of real-world data analyst roles.
Recommended For
Aspiring data analysts who want hands-on experience, not just tutorial completions
Career switchers from non-technical fields looking to break into data roles
Bootcamp grads or self-taught learners struggling to stand out with generic portfolio projects
Curious students exploring data careers but unsure if the work excites them
This simulation is ideal for beginners with basic familiarity in spreadsheets, charts, or data concepts. You don’t need to be a Python or SQL expert to start—but curiosity, attention to detail, and a problem-solving mindset will help you get the most out of it.
Outcomes
Analyze Real Data to Solve Real Problems
This isn’t about cleaning dummy datasets. You’ll dive into a realistic business scenario, analyze messy data, and extract insights that drive actual decisions.
Communicate Insights, Not Just Numbers
Being a great analyst means telling a clear, compelling story. You’ll practice turning raw analysis into visualizations and recommendations stakeholders can act on.
Decide What Matters Under Pressure
You’ll face ambiguity, incomplete data, and time constraints—just like on the job. Learn how to prioritize, validate assumptions, and move forward even when things aren’t perfect.
Know If Data Analytics Is Right for You
It’s not just charts and dashboards. This simulation gives you a real taste of the work so you can decide if you love it—or if you’re better off exploring another path.
Build a Portfolio-Worthy Story
Most beginner projects are too clean, too academic, and too disconnected from the real world. This gives you something different—an experience worth talking about in interviews and networking.
Requirements
Computer, stable internet connection, and a way to speak with your team (mic or quiet space).
