Avishek Khan, completing the Post Graduate Program in Data Science at Simplilearn said, “I am grateful to Simplilearn for providing us with a wonderful course on Data Science. All the faculties were great and made their best effort in understanding our queries and answering them. I am working on the data governance side and wanted to switch my career towards data science. Data governance and data science are closely related, as without proper governance in place, data scientists will not get quality and accurate data for their analysis. After this course, I now have knowledge on both data governance and data science which will allow me to develop processes across the organization for accurate, complete, consistent, and curated data to be made available for analytics. I am currently involved in a data science project in my organization and am slowly contributing towards it. I can now relate to and apply various concepts that we’d been taught in the classes. I am sure the program will help me further in my career path. Lastly, I would like to thank my fellow graduates for helping out with queries during the sessions and wish them all the best for their futures.”
This is the 4th convocation ceremony hosted by Simplilearn and Purdue University. A quarterly event, the next ceremony will be held in Q4 FY22.
