I am a paraplanner wanting to get my foot in the door in an analytics role. What designations should I get or work towards?

I have tried to apply for jobs with tuition/class reimbursements, but this job market is terrible.

Any help would be appreciated!

Hi! I recommend learning Tableau for data visualization and SQL for being about to pull and manipulate data. If you don’t already have strong excel skills - I’d start there first. You can learn this all online for free! I’m self taught :)
