Wanting to shift from HR services to IT, I pursued the Master’s Program in Data Science from Simplilearn. After successfully upskilling, I landed a new job at TCS with a 75% salary hike!

My Career Journey So Far

My professional roles have always revolved around HR and customer services. I started as a Consumer Services Specialist with Denave India Sales Pvt. Ltd and progressed to an immigration specialist at IBM. My last job was that of a Talent Acquisition Specialist at Accenture. While working at Accenture, I decided to shift my career path and enter the IT industry. Wanting to upskill, I found Simplilearn’s Master’s Program in Data Science. After this program, my career took a new turn, and I landed a new job at Tata Consultancy Services as a Sr. Data Engineer.

The Challenge

After working as an HR and customer services specialist for almost five years, I decided to change my career path and work in the IT industry. I lacked the necessary skills and was looking for opportunities to upskill. 

The Simplilearn Solution

The Master’s Program in Data Science offered by Simplilearn aided me in learning the skills needed for my career change. Even though IT has a lot of complex aspects to it, this course made me learn and understand the concepts to the very core quite easily. Blended learning was my favorite aspect of the program. I could learn at my own pace, attend live classes, and interact with the instructors. It was very convenient and effective for me.

I am a young data science enthusiast from Mumbai with a Master’s Degree in Electronics and Telecommunications. But I discovered my new interest in the Data Science domain and sought a similar career. Inculcating new skills and practical applicability, I earned growth and a positive outlook to work on my start-up. 

The Journey 

I started my journey with a Bachelor’s in Electronics and Telecommunication (2012-2016). In the next step, I completed my Master’s (2017-2019) in the same specialisation focused on Python programming. As I became more interested in Python coding, I improved my coding skills by referring to notes online and videos on YouTube. I explored more opportunities and came across Data Science and Machine Learning fields. My fascination with this domain made me switch my career path to the Data Science field. I started exploring methods to gain expertise and enhance my skills in this domain. 

The Challenge 

Discovering a new career path requires courage and the right guidance. Finding a platform with fair and unbiased suggestions is difficult in such cases. Many opportunities are available online with fake promises and promotional materials, making it difficult to find the quality. Most of them lack a practical approach, an important criterion I looked towards gaining.

Simplilearn Solution

Simplilearn reviews and customer care answered all my queries. Their honesty in detailing their offerings was eye-catching. I feel proud of my decision to choose Simplilearn. It is an amazing platform with the blended learning approach as its best feature. It smoothened the process and increased effective learning. I highly appreciate the efforts and patience of all the professors in getting all the doubts cleared. They make even the most complex concepts very easy to understand. The projects at the end of each course were highly helpful in testing all the skills learnt during the live classes. The timely feedback the professors provided after the project submission was of great help. Kudos to the Simplilearn team for all the efforts!

I hold 20 years of working experience in the Telecom Industry, where my last designation was General Manager. Holding expertise in my domain, it was time to handle new challenges that helped me grow and develop. Consequently, I moved to Canada for new opportunities. However, my knowledge gained was valueless there. Thus began my journey to learn, which was the source of my current growth. 

The Journey

I moved to Canada, taking with me 20 years of experience in the telecom industry. Due to different work practices and methodologies, I could not land a job within my expertise. Thus, I began from scratch to gain knowledge, which ultimately led to a career switch. Currently, I work as Technical Sales Representative through the learnings. I further wish to continue in Business Analytics.

The Challenge

Completely different work strategies in Canada required me to have the knowledge suited to that place. It was impossible to work without it. To change my career path, I looked for ways to restart my career. A promising and rewarding course, and, ultimately, the career was what I was looking for. 

Simplilearn Solution

Choosing a course for a new field is difficult, depending on multiple factors. Additionally, finding a good platform with quality adds to the difficulty of choice. A thorough analysis made me choose a Professional Certificate Programme in Business Analytics to upskill myself. Being new to fields, things seem hard in the beginning. But, Simplilearn made progress easy with adequate coverage of topics relevant to industrial exposure. 

Blending learning helped me work at my pace, accommodating my work. I cleared the CBAP exam through the efficient teaching and coverage of the Babok from experts of Simplilearn.

My previous job and covid-19 crisis enlightened me about my potential and existing knowledge gap. I lost my job due to the crisis. But rather than getting demotivated, I encouraged myself to grow professionally and work in a better field. My decision to upskill came out to be the most successful act. 

The Journey

I graduated from CRM College of Engineering & Technology as an Engineering Bachelor. Then I landed a job at Mondee. Inc, as a Quality Data Analyst. However, the company shut down due to covid-19. I utilized the opportunity to learn about more career prospects and increase my proficiency in my area of interest. However, an important factor was to find a learning source that could provide knowledge from the comfort of my home during the tough times of the pandemic. 

The Challenge

With numerous courses available in different durations, the judgment and decision to choose the best are highly difficult. Investing the time and money to receive the best results is highly crucial. With one or the other thing lacking in different courses, the choice was difficult. 

Simplilearn Solution

Simplilearn caught my attention due to its comprehensive curriculum and affordability. My decision came out to be correct due to numerous quality features. The blended mode of learning as both live and self-paced courses let me set my pace. The best of faculties and a great well-formulated curriculum helped me with queries, understanding, and my mistakes. Detailed and interesting explanations, suggestions, and experiences of experts, accompanied by practical implementation, were the correct method of guidance well suited for me.

Digitization has affected all the domains of the field, creating new opportunities. Working as a mechanical engineer, I also wanted to upskill in the field of Data Science. I hold expertise with five years of work experience in multiple posts at various companies. Therefore, I decided to work on myself through professional courses in Simplilearn. 

The Journey

I am a Mechanical Engineer with experience in the production department, supply chain and operations, and product planning and quality product. After gaining experience, I have worked as an analyst at multiple companies. Multiple courses from Simplilearn lead me to my current position as a Supply Chain Operations Analyst. I handle warranty claims adjudication of commercial vehicles, process tracking, and visualization, production and value analysis, task allocation management and planning, idea generation and implementation, Project People Ambassador, and process-product training to new joiners. My biggest success is my interest in the job and my will to work further to develop a career in the field. 

The Challenge

I acknowledged that upskilling myself is important and holds a pathway to a successful career. I have worked as a mechanical engineer for most of my professional life. However, I needed to update myself with the new work trends. Data Science is one such field that has grown significantly over the years, so intending to improve performance in my current role, I decided to upskill.

Simplilearn Solution

Keeping the challenge in mind, I looked forward to suitable courses to upskill myself. Among the multiple options in courses and learning platforms, I chose Simplilearn for two courses. My decision was based on the Simplilearn review and multiple factors like customer response, feedback, and refund policy. 

I chose Data Science with Python and a Master’s Programme in Lean Six Sigma Expert. The learning experience was nice, with a supportive team of Simplilearn. I found blended learning (comprising both live and recorded lectures) to be the best feature. They responded to my queries quickly and smoothly, making it a better decision.

As a professional, I am enthusiastic and always interested in learning new things and exploring new avenues. Currently working with EcoSolve Sustainability Solutions as a team lead, I have come a long way in exploring work across various domains. Looking forward to upskilling myself with premium courses offered by Simplilearn.

The Journey

After graduating in Interior Designing, I switched my career to event design. However, the business hit rock bottom due to the pandemic, forcing me to switch my career again. I switched to digital marketing with no experience. My efforts promoted me as Executive Accounts Manager. After completing my certification with Simplilearn, I landed a new job as a team lead with my current employer.

The Challenge

I needed to upgrade my skills and knowledge in a field that suited my current job profile. An advanced-level course in data science seemed to be a great choice. However, too many options were available online, and it became difficult to select the right one until I came across Simplilearn.

Simplilearn Solution

I finally found a course that matched my requirements. I wanted to enroll in a course that helped me balance learning and work. Simplilearn helped me upskill myself so that I could put my skills to use appropriately. The pre-recorded lectures and one-on-one doubt-solving sessions helped me understand the concepts better. The curriculum was designed systematically, and the faculties were well-versed in the concepts covered. The regular tests and assessments allowed me to assess myself and understand my weaknesses. Further, I would also like to add that the support team greatly helped me in the assessment process.
