Discover how Arun scored a promotion by leveraging Walmart’s education benefits to take Pathstream’s Business Analytics and Operations Certificate for FREE.
Arun Valiyaveettil Ipe, a talented business analyst, has come a long way since moving to the United States. Before embarking on his current career trajectory, Arun initially found employment at Walmart as a customer resolution coordinator. Despite this role offering valuable experience, Arun’s aspirations extended beyond his current position.
Recognizing the potential for growth and opportunity in data analytics, Arun strategically enrolled in Pathstream’s Business Analytics and Operations Certificate. Thanks to Walmart’s generous education benefits offered through Guild, Arun took the course for free.
The Business Analytics and Operations Certificate, offered by Pathstream, empowers students with the practical skills and knowledge needed to thrive in data-driven roles. Learners complete hands-on projects to gain data analysis, visualization, and operational decision-making.
The skills Arun gained through the program proved invaluable in helping him advance in his career at Walmart and in his current role. “I was familiar with Excel before the program, but it improved my Excel skills and significantly boosted my confidence in handling large volumes of data,” Arun shared.
Furthermore, the training in Tableau played a pivotal role in securing his position as a business analyst. While at Walmart, Arun supported a data analytics team, utilizing his newly-acquired expertise in both Excel and Tableau.
Arun enthusiastically shared, “Upon completing the program, I was thrilled to be promoted to a business analyst role within Walmart. However, a few months later, a more enticing opportunity presented itself—one that I simply couldn’t pass up. This led to my decision to seize the new offer and embark on a new adventure beyond Walmart.”
When asked about his advice for Walmart employees considering upskilling, Arun enthusiastically said, “I highly recommend pursuing a Pathstream certificate. Personally, I’m always eager to learn new things, so for me, it was about refining and enhancing my skills. I’ve seen coworkers trying to teach themselves new skills like Tableau by watching YouTube videos or enrolling in free programs. However, I advise enrolling in this certificate program, as it goes beyond just watching lectures. You can work on projects that mirror real business scenarios and build your data analytics portfolio. You also gain access to weekly office hours to seek guidance from the instructor. All of this boosts your confidence and enables you to achieve your career goals.”
