Testimonials

  • Ben, Year 13
    I completed the Digdata BT engineer data challenge. It was a great opportunity to use and improve my Excel skills. It was a challenge to investigate the data and look for trends. I was able to analyse it and give ideas to help BT cope with the impact of the storm and use engineers effectively to restore customer’s network access. I enjoyed the challenge as it was not something I have done before, a new experience to try and use a business data set.

    I participated in the Digdata STEP UP BT live online career challenge in May 2022. Data analysis is not something I had been exposed to previously, so it was refreshing to learn it fresh and anew. The challenge was clearly explained in terms which a newbie like me could understand. The whole experience made me realise how the scope of data analysis in business and how it is used in real live. The whole experience in one word? … Awesome!!!

    "It was a pleasure partnering with Digdata on the first series of data challenges. It’s the first time our team has been involved in an initiative like this and we thoroughly enjoyed the experience and can’t wait to run these again. Rachel was on hand at all stages to provide us with guidance and to make sure we were building a challenge that was relevant to age groups from 13 all the way up to University students. A huge thank you to all the students who took part, we hope we inspired you to consider a career in data!"
