Alumni Story
"Starting a career in the Tech space is an exciting idea but can get you lost as to where to start from, how to start it and how to grow in there ..."
".. These were my very challenges until I got the opportunity to join Excel our girls' first ever edition.
My career path got tailored and became more specific. I got to learn a lot more about Excel(from how to get data, how to clean, transform and prepare it for analysis). I created my first ever dashboard as a results of the knowledge acquired and also got to work on a practical data. "
