Yesterday the Qlik Academic Program ran a workshop for students at the University of Alcalá in Spain to get their first experience with Qlik Sense. A group studying for master’s degrees in Data Science and Business Intelligence participated in the hands-on workshop which focused on a case study using Qlik in a fictitious retail company. The Head of Sales, Marketing, IT and the CEO all had questions that they wanted the data to answer, so the students were tasked with creating a Qlik Sense application and story to meet the various stakeholder’s requirements. Also, at the end of the session the students participated in a quick fire Kahoot quiz to test their abilities to make quick discoveries in their data using Qlik Sense.
For many of the students, this session was their first introduction to Qlik, so they were provided with a written step by step guide to the exercise, plus a live demo by Qlik instructor Sara Del Pino, with support from Laura Gutierrez. These sessions are a great way for students to get practise using Qlik Sense with guidance from experts. Also they are a good opportunity for students to experience the types of requirements that they could face in a business analyst position.
