The Hyde Group has launched their inaugural Data Academy, to help develop data skills for their staff.
The programmes aim to equip team members from various business functions with advanced, industry-relevant data capabilities.
Programmes will be delivered by the tech company Multiverse and include the Advanced-Data Fellowship. In this degree-level program, participants will develop skills in areas like statistical testing, data ethics, predictive modelling, and data security.
Staff are enrolled on the 15-month Data Fellowship which focuses on comprehensive training in data analysis, where they will master data wrangling and analysis techniques.
The Data & Insights For Business Decisions programme is a 13-month course designed to impart both core technical skills required to transform data into insights and softer skills such as building narratives and presenting findings.
These programmes are launched to improve data-driven decision-making at Hyde and promote efficiency within the business. The programmes will also boost the skills of apprentices who are enrolled.
Multiverse is a tech company delivering high-quality education and training through a unique professional apprenticeship model. It offers apprenticeships targeted in areas including software engineering and data analytics.
Neal Ackcral, Chief Operating Officer at Hyde said: “Using data more effectively will undoubtedly help us improve our service for customers. Understanding their needs and working more efficiently will ultimately help us do more for them. It will also help build a more positive data culture throughout our organisation and support those who wish to enhance their data skills.”
Gary Eimerman, Chief Learning Officer at Multiverse, said: "Our partnership with Hyde is driving data skills transformation throughout their ranks. With this apprenticeship programme, Hyde Housing is not only investing in operational efficiency, they're also enriching the career trajectories of its team members. It's a solid step towards a more data-driven housing industry."
