This Wednesday, Charlie-Mae and Tom had the fantastic opportunity to attend the Haberdashers’ Adams Career Fair, where they engaged with students eager to explore career paths in data analytics and technology. It was an inspiring day filled with insightful conversations about the exciting opportunities within this ever-evolving industry.

Power BI, Microsoft Fabric & AI

During the fair, Charlie and Tom introduced students to the world of data analytics, focusing on key technologies such as Power BI, Microsoft Fabric, andArtificial Intelligence (AI). These tools are at the forefront of modern analytics, helping businesses make smarter decisions by transforming raw data into meaningful insights.

  • Power BI – A powerful tool for data visualisation and business intelligence, enabling users to create interactive reports and dashboards.
  • Microsoft Fabric – A new and integrated data platform designed to unify analytics and make data more accessible across organisations.
  • Artificial Intelligence – AI is revolutionising the way we process and analyse data, offering predictive insights that drive efficiency and innovation.

Apprenticeships

One of the key topics we discussed was apprenticeships and how they can provide a fantastic route into the technology field. Many students were keen to learn about how they could gain hands-on experience while developing essential skills in analytics, programming, and AI. Or even the other side of technology such as marketing, HR, security and much more!

Apprenticeships offer a unique blend of education and practical work experience, allowing individuals to earn while they learn and build a strong foundation for a successful career in tech.

A bright future

The enthusiasm from students was truly inspiring, and it’s clear that the next generation of data professionals is full of potential. As businesses increasingly rely on data-driven decision-making, the demand for skilled professionals in Power BI, Fabric, and AI continues to grow. At Purple Frog, we’re passionate about fostering new talent and helping individuals kickstart their careers in data analytics. If you’re interested in learning more about apprenticeships, career opportunities, or the latest trends in data, feel free to reach out!

We look forward to attending more events like this in the future and continuing to inspire the next wave of data experts!
