The Bootcamp that is shaping the next generation of Business Intelligence masters in Colombia

Data analytics for businesses has been booming in Colombia lately, and let's face it, making decisions based on reliable information is crucial. That's where Business Intelligence comes in, and it's been growing like crazy in the country.

The numbers don't lie: Since 2016, companies interested in the evolution of data analysis have been dominating the market, capturing a market share of over 40%, according to the latest reports from DANE.

Source Meridian is one of the companies that know this need all too well, and that's why we've taken the lead by launching cool Bootcamps, focusing on GCP Looker.?

This training equips future pros with the tools and knowledge they need to conquer the fast-paced world of Business Intelligence.

So, how does the Bootcamp work??

Well, Source Meridian is fully aware of the talent pool in the country that can contribute to the data industry. That's why we're all about providing free training opportunities to help new technology faces level up their careers. On top of that, if you excel during the process, you might score a direct job with the company.

The second edition of the Bootcamp just wrapped up, and it's been a game-changer for recruiting. We picked 13 lucky participants out of over 100 applicants, giving them a hands-on experience and deep dive into the training.

Diana Graciano, project manager of Source Meridian, highlights that this initiative has experienced steady growth in scope and influence. At this moment, the project's attention is focused on:

"Promoting technological development and supporting junior individuals to start their professional lives with the support of Source Meridian's training academy. In addition to providing young professionals with BI tool skills, we also teach them general standards for creating and managing technology projects."

And let's face it, this is super important in the BI and tech industries. Companies must step up and create safe spaces for newbies to gain practical experience and get a feel for how things work outside the classroom.

Consider Sebastián Osorno as an illustration. He began his journey as a Bootcamp participant and has now transitioned into the role of a Junior BI Developer, even taking on the responsibility of training others.

He says:

"Going from participant to trainer in the Bootcamp was a blast. I love mentoring people with mad potential and achieving collective results. Source Meridian gives us confidence and creates opportunities for us to grow professionally. It's not just about being a brainiac in a specific field, but also having killer soft skills and the ability to teach different types of people."
