Manisha Mistry, Head of the Digital Academy, R2 Data Labs, which runs the Helping You Prepare course content, said: “The demand for digital skills is huge as people spend more time at home and start to adjust to the digital changes that are accelerating around us as a result of the pandemic’s impact.
“Rather than seeing a pull towards deep technical training, we’re seeing particular interest in courses that help make sense of data insights and bring people together around the stories that data gives organisations; which points to persuasion, discussion and digital culture, which is vital to engaging across organisations with people who are not always going to be deep data specialists.”
