I’m Talita Mesquita, the new Project Manager for the Qlik Academic Project in LATAM. I’m excited to introduce myself and share a bit about what I’ll be doing!
The Qlik Academic Program offers world class data analytics training, software, qualifications and certifications to students and educators. So far, students and educators from more than 3300 universities around the world, are a part of the program and getting trained in data analytics. Recently, we spoke to Radhika Rajendra who is an MBA from Christ University Bangalore and she had an interesting story to share. During Covid, when there was a general freeze on job opportunities, she undertook training on the Qlik Academic Program and qualified as a Qlik Sense Business Analyst. While she had an interest in data analytics, she was more keen to secure a job for herself during those tough times. She met success with a top global consulting firm who hired her as a Qlik Sense Developer. Radhika continues to work on Qlik Sense in a different role even today and credits her success to the Qlik Academic Program.To read more about Radhika's story, visit:https://www.qlik.com/us/solutions/customers/customer-stories/christ-universityTo learn how you can access free training and qualifications on the Qlik Academic Program, visit: qlik.com/academicprogram
