The Founder, of Fushure Consulting, Yole Odior, while speaking during a panel session on the theme of the event, noted that there was a need for new entrants into tech to harness data analytics and artificial intelligence tools. www.nebiant.com
According to him, Artificial Intelligence, being a self-learning and self-improvement technology, plays a crucial role in this process of assisting new entrants into the tech world.
He noted that an easy way to optimise mail sent to people is by using “If” and “What If” statements, as this would optimize communication by tailoring messages to different situations or recipients, making the emails more personalized and engaging.
On his part, the Co-Founder, of PASSE Marketing Firm, Peter Ebuka Agbo, stated that visibility was just as important as skills while emphasizing the need for participants to see platforms like LinkedIn as more than just a social media platform.
He said, “The way you see LinkedIn determines what it really means to you and how it affects your life. If you see LinkedIn as a social media platform, it will always remain a social media platform to you. You need to leverage LinkedIn by understanding your niche, being intentional about what you post, and being
consistent.”
Muhammad Suleman, the COO of Nebiant Analytics, underscored the importance of guidance and mentorship, which he said was one of the major benefits Nebiant Analytics offered to its students.
Speaking further, Suleman highlighted that Nebiant Analytics’ courses feature live online learning, industry-relevant curriculum, practical application, and toolkit proficiency in Excel, SQL, Python, PowerBi, Trello, Jira, Confluence, and Draw.io, among others
