The Evolution of Data Practitioner Roles: Building Skills for Success

Wednesday, May 17, 2023 | 1:00 PM CT


Is data scientist still the “sexiest job of the 21st century”? As the fields of data science and data engineering evolve, the skills required for a successful career in data have grown and shifted. In this one-hour webinar, Jess Haberman, Director, Learning Solutions at Anaconda, chats with Joe Reis and Matt Housley, co-founders of Ternary Data, to explore the current state of data practitioner career and discuss how to build the right skills to keep up with the changing landscape.

The conversation will cover how data roles have evolved over the last few years, the overlap of data science and data engineering, and the growth of interest in this space despite the shrinking number of people who call themselves "data scientists.” The panelists will also compare and contrast data science in academia versus the tech industry and recommend career strategies for aspiring data practitioners.

Whether you're already working in data and looking to stay ahead of the curve or you’re a curious newcomer to the field, this webinar promises to be a thought-provoking and informative discussion.
