The DCI Way
Career Placement
Apprentices are placed with a partner company to work full-time as a data analyst. Apprentices will demonstrate their skills to help the company succeed, build their portfolio, and start down a rewarding career in an in-demand field.
Coach and Mentor Support
Apprentices have a career coach to develop their professional skills and help set goals aligned with company expectations. As many apprentices are just starting out their careers, having a career coach and mentor is key to building professional skills and setting long-term goals.
Hands-on Experience
Apprentices graduate with in-demand data analyst skills, paired with on the job experience to build a successful career. They also receive a nationally portable certificate recognizing apprenticeship completion from the U.S. Department of Labor, certifying 2,000+ hours invested in data analytics and 180+ hours of training.

5 Ways of Growing
Equally, if not more important than tangible skills, are the intangible skills you will learn. These are the skills that truly embody the apprenticeship mindset. When fully embraced, these skills will allow you to accomplish nearly anything. We’ve synthesized these skills into five pillars.
Apprenticeship Manifesto
We whole-heartedly embrace the data analyst apprenticeship model – the integration of education and work. We strongly believe it’s the answer to the ever-changing digital world of work. But this movement is bigger than us. It’s about individuals from all industries adopting a mindset of continuous learning. And it’s changing how we work and grow professionally.
We’ve created a pledge – a Manifesto – detailing the model and how to succeed with an apprenticeship mindset. (We’ll give you a hint: it takes a big dose of humility and an unmatched eagerness to learn.)
