They not only need to understand the data, but be able to provide insight and analysis through clear visual, written and verbal communication.Some responsibilities of a data analyst includes:Developing records management processes and policiesidentify areas to increase efficiency and automation of processesset up and maintain automated data processesidentify, evaluate and implement external services and tools to support data validation and cleansingproduce and track key performance indicatorsdevelop and support reporting processesmonitor and audit data qualityliaise with internal and external clients to fully understand data contentgather, understand and document detailed business requirements using appropriate tools and techniquesdesign and carry out surveys and analyse survey datamanipulate, analyse and interpret complex data sets relating to the employer’s businessprepare reports for internal and external audiences using business analytics reporting toolscreate data dashboards, graphs and visualisationsprovide sector and competitor benchmarkingmine and analyse large datasets, draw valid inferences and present them successfully to management using a reporting toolIf you’re getting ready to launch a new career as a data analyst, chances are you’ve encountered an age-old dilemma. Job listings ask for experience, but how do you get experience if you’re looking for your first data analyst job?This is where your portfolio comes in. The projects you include in your portfolio demonstrate your skills and experience—even if it’s not from a previous data analytics job—to hiring managers and interviewers. Populating your portfolio with the right projects can go a long way toward building confidence that you’re the right person for the job, even without previous work experience.As an aspiring data analyst, you’ll want to demonstrate a few key skills in your portfolio. These data analytics project ideas reflect the tasks often fundamental to many data analyst roles. The hands on projects covered in this course includes :Web scrapingWhile you’ll find no shortage of excellent (and free) public data sets on the internet, you might want to show prospective employers that you’re able to find and scrape your own data as well. Plus, knowing how to scrape web data means you can find and use data sets that match your interests, regardless of whether or not they’ve already been compiled. We will use  Python and  tools like Beautiful Soup to crawl the web for interesting data.Data cleaningA significant part of your role as a data analyst is cleaning data to make it ready to analyze. Data cleaning (also called data scrubbing) is the process of removing incorrect and duplicate data, managing any holes in the data, and making sure the formatting of data is consistent.   We will perform  some practical data cleaning .Exploratory data analysis (EDA)Data analysis is all about answering questions with data. Exploratory data analysis, or EDA for short, helps you explore what questions to ask. This could be done separate from or in conjunction with data cleaning. Either way, you’ll want to accomplish the following during these early investigations.   We will undertake a data exploration project in this course.Data Analysis TransformationWe will  also perform some data analysis and transformationData VisualizationData visualization is an important aspect of data analysis.   As a data analyst you should be able to presentdata in a visual way that will help businesses make important decisions.Who this course is for:Beginner Data AnalystBeginner Data EngineersBeginner Data Scientist
