Ready to start your career in data?

The FTW Data Analytics and Data Engineering Scholarship Program Batch 11 is designed for career switchers like you—offering expert-led training in Data Engineering or Data Analytics. No experience needed. Just curiosity, commitment, and a drive to learn.

How the Program Works:

The Data Fundamentals Training is a 12-weekend, full-day Saturday program designed to help women take their first steps into a career in data. All scholars begin with 3 sessions covering the basics of working with data – no prior experience needed.

After these first 3 sessions, scholars are guided to either the Data Analytics (DA) or Data Engineering (DE) track for the remaining 9 Saturday sessions. This approach ensures each scholar trains in the path where they are most likely to succeed.

Data Analytics Track:

You’ll learn how to make sense of data and present it clearly using charts and dashboards. You’ll use tools like Excel and Tableau to turn numbers into easy-to-understand visuals. This track is perfect if you enjoy finding patterns and sharing stories with data, and everything is taught from scratch.

Data Engineering Track:

You’ll learn simple ways to organize, store, and manage data. This includes using SQL (a basic tool for working with databases) and an introduction to cloud platforms (how companies store data online). All lessons are beginner-friendly and focus on the essentials.

Who is eligible to apply for the Data Fundamentals Training?

We welcome all women who have the potential and drive to start a data career and are deserving of this scholarship. Successful scholars should demonstrate aptitude, financial need and most importantly, the right attitude.

Applicants with a demonstrated financial need will be prioritized in the selection process to support those who may not have access to similar opportunities.

No. This is a 100% free scholarship. However, no allowance or devices will be provided.

What is the minimum educational requirement to join this program?

There is no minimum educational requirement to join the program. However, we prioritize applicants who are ready to switch careers immediately after completing the training. If you are still completing your studies, we recommend applying once you have finished and are ready to enter the workforce.
