Unlocking Data Careers runs free public information sessions across Alberta. Each one is 60 to 75 minutes. Come in skeptical. Leave knowing whether a data career is actually a realistic option for you.
Day 3 — Introduction to Data Management
What data management is in practice, how O&G and industrial experience translates directly into this discipline, and where the real hiring demand sits outside of energy.
Speakers:
Larisa Steigenberger — Team Lead Business & Data Analytics, STEP Energy Services
Nataly Toporkova — Business Data Analyst, S&P Global
Day 4 — How Data Is Used
Three practitioners from three different sectors walk through what a real workday looks like and answer the question that matters most: what would it take to hire someone who just finished a five-day training program?
Speakers:
Candy Nwigwe — ICQA Data Analyst, Amazon
Eric Richardson — Senior Manager, Transformation Strategy & Intelligence, Westjet
Day 5 — The Data Ecosystem
An internal hiring manager gives the honest version of what Alberta employers actually need. A data professional walks through roles that did not exist five years ago and where new demand is coming from.
