As the COVID-19 pandemic continues to reshape the global economy, immigrants in the diaspora are facing unprecedented challenges in their careers. With mass layoffs and job insecurity on the rise, it's essential for them to have a backup plan to fall back on.

According to a recent report from the White House, President Donald Trump has announced plans to send foreign students on F-1 visas back to their home countries if their schools do not allow them to take full-time classes as international students. This move has left many schools and students in a difficult position, forcing them to weigh the risks of opening their doors to international students or not.

However, amidst this uncertainty, there is a solution that can help many immigrants in the diaspora adjust to the new normal. Acquiring a new skill in data analytics can provide them with a much-needed career boost and enable them to succeed in the face of economic adversity.

Smart Data School of Analytics offers a 14-week course in data analytics that covers project management, business analysis, and data analysis. The course focuses on teaching students data analysis tools such as Python, Advanced Excel, Tableau, SQL, and Alteryx, providing them with a comprehensive understanding of the field.

With the United States economy taking a hit following the pandemic, job security has become elusive. Many employees are quickly realizing the importance of having a fall-back plan, and acquiring a new skill in data analytics can provide them with the flexibility and security they need.

Today, big data analysis is the career of the moment, with jobs in business analysis, data analysis, and project management earning upwards of $40 an hour in the United States. The IT industry, initially dominated by Indian immigrants, is slowly attracting African immigrants as well, offering them a chance to earn a greater pay and enjoy the flexibility that comes with careers in data analytics.

Smart Data School of Analytics presents an opportunity for all African immigrants to acquire the skills they need to succeed in the new economy.
