If you've ever used an app to find the best

way through traffic or received product recommendations while shopping


online, you're
already familiar with data analytics from the consumer end. According to some
estimates, each
person creates at least 1.7 megabytes of data per second, on average. That roughly
translates
into over 2.5 quintillion megabytes of data being produced every single day
worldwide. As such, there's a huge demand, now and for the foreseeable future, for
people who can organize
data and interpret the stories locked within. As you approach this career
pathway, you're likely
to bring practical experience and problem-solving decision-making, allocating
resources,
time management, and many other skills that are particularly suited for the job of
a data
professional. Many companies are searching for candidates to fill positions in this
fast-growing,
high-paying field. My name is Cassie, and I've been a data scientist since before
we called it
data science. I lead decision intelligence here at Google and I'll be your
instructor for the
first course of this certificate program. Before I became Google Cloud's chief
decision
scientist, I worked as a data scientist in Google Research, where I was involved
with over 400 projects all across Google. One of my favorite things about the data
science
career is the tremendous variety, especially if, like me, you're a naturally
curious person. There are so many different flavors of project and challenge. Some
of us choose to work on one
project for years. Others get involved with several new projects every week. The
possibilities are endless. Data professional is a term used to describe any
individual who works with data and/or
has data skills. At a minimum, a data professional is capable of
exploring, cleaning, selecting,
analyzing, and visualizing data. They may also be comfortable with writing
code and have some familiarity with the techniques used by statisticians and
machine learning engineers, including building models, developing algorithmic
thinking, and/or building machine learning models. Machine learning is an
alternative
approach to automation, expressing the way you want a task done by using data
instead of explicit instructions. Machine learning is an important component of the
modern data professional's toolkit. To train a machine learning model, specialists
put a bunch
of potential data inputs through algorithms, tweak the settings, and keep iterating
until promising
outputs are produced. But training a model is only one small step in the
professional machine learning journey. Machine learning techniques can also be used
for data analytics and exploration with far fewer steps. That's what you'll
learn in this program. You'll discover additional
opportunities to explore machine learning through the course resources, so do check
those out. Data professional work spans a wide range of industries and impact
affects a multitude of products
and services. As we'll discuss later, there are also lots of different roles
and titles that
focus on data professional work. Think of them as data detectives, analyzing and
interpreting
their findings to reveal the stories within. I'm excited for you to get to meet
some of them
in this program. Google Career Certificates are designed by industry professionals
with
decades of experience here at Google. You'll have a different expert from Google
to guide
you through each course in this program. We'll share our knowledge and videos, help
you practice
with hands-on activities, and guide you through scenarios that you might encounter
on the
job. This certificate is designed to prepare you for a job in 3 to 6 months, if you
work
on the certificate part-time. So this program is really flexible. You can complete
all of
the courses on your own terms and at your own pace. Throughout the program, we'll
give you
resources that will prepare you to advance in your career as a data professional.
As you progress,
you will also build a repository of portfolio projects and a comprehensive capstone
project
that will showcase your abilities beyond your resume. You'll also have a supportive
network
of peer learners taking the certificate with you. You can connect with them in the
discussion
forums. This program is designed to give you experience, by building upon the
knowledge
and skills that you've developed to this point. Regardless of your experience with
data and
analytics, as you begin the program, you'll learn about different experiences that
are relevant and
helpful for starting or advancing your career. In addition to building your skill
set, we'll examine
how teams of data professionals collaborate and contribute in the workplace. By the
end of this program, you'll be ready to pursue a position in the data career space.
By completing a Google
Career Certificate like this one, you will develop the skills and
knowledge necessary for a job in
this expanding career field. Once you graduate, you can connect with hundreds of
employers
who are interested in hiring Google Career Certificate graduates. Whether you're
seeking
to switch careers, level up your skills, or start your own business, the Google
Career
Certificates can help you take that next step. Throughout this first course, I'll
be
here to help you gain foundational knowledge needed to succeed in the field. Again,
I'm
so glad you're here. I'm excited for you to take these next steps forward in your
career. I'll see you in the next video.
