Create data models: Present your data intuitively and in a visually engaging way, making it easier for your audience to understand complex information. Visualize data: Tell the story of your data in quick, responsive analytics. Share assets: The power of automation ensures that your data reaches the right people at the right time. In a data-driven world, your ability to extract meaningful insights and make informed decisions is a game-changer.

Power BI empowers you with the skills you need to drive decision-making processes, giving you a competitive edge in the job market. NACE Competency Alignment: Critical Thinking, Technology About Professional Edge: Professional Edge is an industry-informed collection of short courses designed to help students develop cutting-edge skills essential in the modern job market.
