Internship Experience at Pearson

Pearson is committed to a world that’s always learning and to their talented team who makes it all possible. From bringing lectures vividly to life to turning textbooks into laptop lessons, they are always re-examining the way people learn best, whether it’s one child in their own backyard or an education community across the globe. We are bold thinkers and standout innovators who motivate each other to explore new frontiers in an environment that supports and inspires them to always be better. By pushing the boundaries of technology — and each other to surpass these boundaries — they create seeds of learning that become the catalyst for the world’s innovations, personal and global, large and small. We provide content, assessment, and digital services to learners, educational institutions, employers, governments, and other partners globally. We are committed to helping equip learners with the skills they need to enhance their employability prospects and to succeed in the changing world of work. We believe that wherever learning flourishes so do people.

As a Data Analyst intern with Pearson, I had the opportunity to work with an amazing team. I've been working on analyzing data using Tableau and creating the dashboards for the same. I have to analyze Weekly Technology Report to review the metrics that are aligned with SLA's requirements. My other task was to work with the AIS team with the Snowflake database and Databricks to find the efficacy results for the early alert project. I have met so many people through these series and I look forward to learning from their experiences.

I would really like to thank the entire team that I worked with, especially Ritu Saxena, Satish Menon, Ngan Hilda, and Rick Evans who helped to support me throughout the process. Their thoughts, suggestions, and feedback helped me learn a lot during my time here. The learning plan devised by the team was amazing which helped me gain knowledge during my entire internship period.

I would like to thank Prof. Gaurav Shekhar and Prof. Mark Thouin for making the ITM program flexible and helping to make this internship process work smoothly.
