This year, SkillsUP celebrates its 15th birthday! Over the past decade and a half, we have graduated thousands of talented students, helped them find their way in the world of technology, acquire a new profession, and radically change their lives.
Construction projects are complex systems with a large number of participants, dependencies, and risks.
The company operates with a large volume of operational tasks, including communication, reporting, data handling, and internal processes.
Data analytics has been on the list of the most in-demand digital professions for several years now. Companies are accumulating more and more data and need specialists who can turn it into understandable business insights. But along with the development of technology, the role of the Data Analyst is also changing.
A few years ago, creating a website almost always meant working with code. You needed to know HTML, CSS, sometimes JavaScript, and understand hosting and content management systems. For most people, this looked complicated and highly technical.
