• Fifteen women seeking employment or retraining will be trained in this highly sought-after profession.

  • Free, the course also aims to help the feminization of digital professions.

It is not this summer that they will be going on vacation. This Monday is even the start of the school year for fifteen women between 20 and 50 years old who have embarked on an original training. For three months, until mid-September, these job seekers from the Nantes region will learn the nascent but already very popular profession of "data analyst". "To retain a customer, sell better, optimize processes… All companies today need a data analyst," said Erik Campanini, co-founder of the LePont training center. A person who knows how to search for and present data that enables decision-making, in addition to experience and intuition. "

Skills so sought after that a free training of 400 hours in this exploding hybrid profession was therefore launched by LePont and the Audencia business school, and financed by the State, via a skills operator.

To apply, you had to justify a bac + 2, but also be a woman.

“It is a position taken to change the representation of women in the digital sector,” continues Erik Campanini.

They are only 20% in digital, and 4% in artificial intelligence.

Change domain or gain skills

Of the 150 applications received, Shangwei's dossier was accepted. This 32-year-old PhD student in acoustic mechanics and young mother despaired of sending CVs without finding a job in her field. With this course, she hopes to “learn a new profession and resume a work rhythm. For Fatima-Ezzahra, 47, the goal is above all to bridge the gap that has widened between her training as a chartered accountant and the reality of today's profession. “I will stay in my path, but strong in new skills, hopes this job seeker. I will be able to apply for more interesting missions, or even create my own structure. "

The training includes support from Pôle Emploi and a workshop on salary negotiations.

In the Paris region, where the program has already been launched, "a third of the class had found a job even before the end of the training".

A data analyst can claim a salary of between 25 and 40,000 euros per year.
