Technically-minded Electrical N3 holder transitioning into data science through structured learnerships.

What I'm looking for

I am seeking a structured learnership or junior role in data science where I can apply foundational technical skills, learn programming and analytics, and contribute to real projects while growing professionally.

I am a motivated, technically-minded individual with an N3 Electrical Engineering certificate seeking to transition into data science via the OGCTA Data Science Learnership program.

I have foundational technical knowledge from electrical engineering studies and practical work experience as a cashier, and I am committed to acquiring programming, data analysis, and analytical skills.

I have completed short courses in AI fluency, Microsoft Digital Literacy, Google AI Essentials, and Data Science for Beginners, and I thrive in structured training environments where I can develop both technical expertise and professional competencies.

I am eager to contribute to meaningful projects, apply data-driven insights to real-world challenges, and build a sustainable career in data science while growing my facilitation and communication skills.
