Data professionals are uniquely positioned to pivot to roles in adjacent sectors, private sector companies, and consulting.

If you had any of the following roles, you have transferable skills to work in data-related jobs in a new sector:

  • Monitoring, evaluation, research, and learning

  • Health information systems

  • Data systems and web development

  • Data analytics

  • Strategic information

Like Anna said, you can design software, build data systems, and develop data visualization and analytics tools with private sector and government clients (among others).
