Create a convincing project for your application portfolio and learn how to present results professionally and work with Git in a team.
A portfolio project is an independently implemented piece of work in the field of data analytics or data science. It demonstrates your practical skills using real data and shows potential employers your abilities and project experience.
The aim of the portfolio project is to help you build up a portfolio. Career changers in particular are better able to convince potential employers with a convincing work sample than with their CV alone.
In week 1 you will get to know your fellow module participants, be informed about the course of the module and gain initial insights into the components and building blocks of project work.
Learn more about the building blocks of a meaningful portfolio project and gain insights into sample projects from the Data Analyst and Data Scientist training program. Datasets are explored, evaluated for their suitability for a project and groups are formed around these projects.
You start with the local installation of the required software (Python, Anaconda, Git) and the setup of a virtual environment. Over the course of the week, you will learn and consolidate the use of Git and Github.
You create your first project board on Notion and are introduced to the most important functionalities of the project management tool. This will optimally prepare you for the collaborative and agile way of working in data and IT professions.
In Week 2 you will apply the principles of project management and learn how to organize your project well through formats such as daily standups, sprint planning, sprint retros, Kanban and individual group meetings.
You put full focus on the implementation of your project and are in constant communication with your mentor. You can choose the form of implementation that best suits your vision, from dashboards with Power BI to your own applications or websites.
In week 3 you finalize, document and clean up your code so that it meets industry standards. You structure and add to your Github repository so that employers can get a good idea of your first project when you apply.
Finally, you prepare a presentation in which your project group reports on the background and results of the project. You present them to other participants and mentors and discuss questions and feedback. After a successful presentation, the portfolio project is complete and you can contact the StackFuel Career Service to develop an application strategy.
