The goal of data engineer academy is to help people do two things. Learn the skills needed to be in data related roles and learn how to ace the interviews as well. We believe data related roles are in the early phases of their growth. And in addition to learning the skills, learning how to pass the interviews are just as important and our goal is to create clarity when it comes to both of those skillets.
