Are you curious about how to effectively approach a data project and which tools to use? Join our project-based learner series, where you'll learn the steps to create a project—from uploading and exploring data to analyzing and building reports. This is a unique opportunity to see best practices in action and gain insights for tackling research questions. We’ll use various datasets for demonstration, so there is no need to bring your own data.

• Getting Started with Data and SAS
• Exploring Data Using Visualizations
• Data Wrangling and Descriptive Statistics
• Fitting Machine Learning Models: The Basics
• Displaying Insights Interactively

*Note: Registration means attendance for all sessions in this series. If you register after the series has started, you will be enrolled in all remaining sessions and are encouraged to attend as many as possible for the most comprehensive learning experience.

The SAS Career-Focused Learner Series immerses you into a world of analytics through different industries and career roles. Each session offers the chance to learn, practice, and apply. We’ll start by hearing from industry experts regarding their roles, experiences, and tips for entering the specific field. We’ll then transition to teach you how to use SAS tools through the analytical lifecycle. No previous SAS experience is required, though familiarity with SAS is encouraged. Once you get the hang of the SAS tools, you’ll work collaboratively with subject matter experts and peers either on your own data or SAS provided data.
