Non-IT to Data Analytics Roadmap

Coming from a non-IT background? You can still become a Data Analyst.

Here's the roadmap I'd follow:

→ Excel — Data cleaning, Pivot Tables, VLOOKUP/XLOOKUP
→ SQL — Joins, CTEs, Subqueries, Window Functions
→ Power BI — Dashboards, DAX, Data Modeling
→ Statistics — Mean, Median, Trends, Correlation
→ Projects — Build 3 real-world business projects
→ Resume + LinkedIn — Showcase your skills and projects
→ Interview Prep — Practice SQL, business scenarios and explaining your projects
→ AI Tools — Use AI to learn faster and solve problems efficiently

One thing I'd tell every non-IT aspirant:

Don't spend months collecting certificates.

Learn the skills. Build projects. Practice interviews. Start applying.

Your degree may be from a different field, but your skills can open doors to analytics.

Save this roadmap. Start today.

You've learned Excel, SQL, and maybe Power BI. You've watched tutorials, too.

Teach your Nigerian child money at 8, not at 18:

Give them a monthly allowance. Not tied to chores. Their own.
Make them split it into three jars: spend, save, give.
Let them make bad decisions in the spend jar. That is where the lesson lands.
Every quarter, walk them through what the save jar has become, and where the give jar went.

By 14, they understand budgeting better than most adults. By 18, they will not blow the university stipend in month one.

The curriculum for this is one Saturday morning a month. Nothing more.

I've just completed this Call Center Report project.

I'll write the detailed GitHub repo and post, soon. But until then, you can feed on the aesthetics, and I'm also open to constructive criticisms, questions and gigs.

@ezekiel_aleke how's my performance sir?

At this juncture, I need to add AI to my title

While a lot of people are scared about AI taking their jobs, the clever people are looking into incorporating AI to their workflow

Cos why can't I call myself an AI Data analyst when I leverage on AI to solve business problems? 😌

I've been working on this particular dashboard for hours 😔

One mistake I made when I started learning data analytics was not building my portfolio early enough. 🥲

I kept learning and practising, but I didn’t start showcasing my work early.

If you’re learning data analytics, don’t wait until you’re job hunting.

Here are 5 free tools/sites you can explore:👇

1️⃣ Data Science Portfolio: https://t.co/0RbWPyVnuG

2️⃣ Linktree: https://t.co/uvDnyOQfny

3️⃣ Strikingly: https://t.co/GreXZZqozX

4️⃣ GitHub: https://t.co/TqpXM3gqZE

5️⃣ Google Sites: https://t.co/OKf6ddrXsa

You don’t need a perfect portfolio to start. Start with what you have, add your projects, and improve it as you grow.

Haven’t built your portfolio yet? Start building early!

Which platform are you currently using for your portfolio?

Happy Independence. Nigeria Forward 🇳🇬 💚

[vivian @vheeorji22]

If I had to start learning data analytics from zero again, I honestly wouldn’t do it the same way.

There are things I spent too much time trying to understand, things I learned too early and things I wish I had focused on first.
So if I had to start over, this is the order I’d follow 👇

[BUKOLA @WithBukky]

Your supervisor asked you to come up with a project topic, and now you’re confused because every topic you find has already been researched.

Relax!!!

You’re looking for a “new topic” what you need is a research gap.

Let me show you how to find one and turn it into a project topic. 🧵👇

[Bayyoo @bayyoo_]

How to create a GitHub repository for your Data Analytics project 🧵📊

If you're building projects for your portfolio, don't just keep the files on your laptop.

Put your work somewhere people can actually see it.

Here's a simple setup:

[Delight Fifun Johnson @delightfjohnson]

Go to Google and type:

"join our team" "remote" "[SKILL]" intitle:careers

Replace 'SKILL' with your actual skill and hit enter.

Now, you'll see jobs for your skill companies posted on their websites.

But don't stop there...

🚀 My first project as a Data Analytics Intern at DecodeLabs!

I recently completed a data cleaning project using a 1,200-row sales dataset.

Using Excel & Power Query, I:

• Cleaned and standardized data
• Handled missing values
• Fixed data types
• Validated total prices

[Optimist • Data Analyst & Fashion designer @prouiuxwebdev]

• Checked for duplicates
• Standardized dates & text formatting

One key lesson: a dataset can look clean and still need cleaning.

A good analyst looks deeper. 👀😅

The cleaned dataset is now ready for analysis.

First project. First milestone. More to come. 📊
