With global companies looking to increase headcount for data
capabilities, new partnerships extend the reach of Alteryx SparkED
to meet growing demand for diverse analytics talent
IRVINE,
Calif., April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ -- Alteryx,
Inc., a leader in AI for enterprise analytics, announced two new
upskilling partnerships from Alteryx SparkED, the company's data
analytics education program, to grow the pipeline of diverse
analytics talent and empower individuals looking to enhance their
career prospects with in-demand skills.
The new partnerships with DataCamp, a leading data and AI

in-demand technology skills, with 51% of digital leaders looking to
increase their internal headcount for data capabilities during the
next 12 months, according to Nash Squared's annual Digital
Leadership Report.
"The growing talent gap in the data and analytics space is
impacting our current and prospective customers. At the same time,
data-driven decision making is increasingly critical to businesses
and organizations across the spectrum," said Olivia Duane Adams, co-founder and chief
advocacy officer of Alteryx. "We have a responsibility to
attract diverse groups of learners into the analytics space. That's
why we are pleased to partner with DataCamp and Women in Data.
