AYX), the Analytics Automation company, today announced its new
education program, SparkED, designed for learners of all skill
levels in every discipline to gain hands-on skills and
certification in data analytics. SparkED is a global, comprehensive

environment aspiring to achieve data science skills and bolster
their resume, and career changers wanting to upskill for a
competitive edge in today's job market.
"Businesses and organizations across the globe have an
increasing demand for employees with data science and analytics
skills, but there remains a major skills gap in these fields," said
Libby Duane Adams, co-founder and
chief advocacy officer of Alteryx. "As a global leader in data
science and analytics automation, it is our responsibility to
enable people with the skills to perform in these jobs, no matter
which stage of their life they might be in. The Alteryx SparkED
program will provide free resources to expand data literacy to data
science skills across learners of all ages and levels to close the
skills gap."

modules to meet individual learner goals

for qualified students and educators

Educators from many universities across the globe such as
California State University, Fullerton,
University of Richmond and The
University of Auckland have
already incorporated Alteryx into their curriculum and are seeing
their students land interviews and receive job offers from renowned
companies because of their experience and certification from using
Alteryx in the classroom.
"Incorporating Alteryx into my Emerging Technologies class has
been a win-win for everyone," said April
Morris, professor of accounting at California State University, Fullerton. "My
students consistently tell me that their ability to use an
analytics platform like Alteryx has substantially improved their
skills and increased their opportunities for advancement, outside
of the classroom and in their careers."
"As a business student, it is essential to equip technical and
analytical skills to gain a competitive advantage over my peers,"
said Ringo Cheng, accounting student
at California State University,
Fullerton. "I was introduced to Alteryx in one of my
courses, and the intuitive interface of the platform and
friendliness of the Alteryx Community immediately helped me analyze
data effectively and efficiently. As a risk consultant for a public
accounting firm upon graduation, having these analytical skills
will allow me to analyze the company's data and form better
recommendations for our clients."
The program is free for qualified learners and educators to
access, and by registering, participants will receive an Alteryx
Designer software license, interactive learning content and the
ability to earn Alteryx certifications that will set them apart
from the competition when they are looking for a job or looking to
