Role: Data Analytics Intern II
When I started my journey in data analytics at Vephla Uni, I
had a lot of excitement but also a good dose of self-doubt.
I’ll admit, I’ve never been the most disciplined person;
procrastination has always been my biggest obstacle.
However, the structure of Vephla's program and, more
importantly, the support of my mentor completely transformed
my mindset and approach to learning.
From day one, the importance of the tasks and deadlines was
made clear. Every assignment had a purpose, building on
previous skills and pushing us into new areas. And when I
say “pushing,” I mean it! My mentor, who I have to thank for
so much of my growth, gave us absolutely no breathing space
in our cohort. He expected us to be present, to be
accountable, and to complete every task. There was no room
for my usual shortcuts or delays. We were constantly given
project after project, and at times, it felt like I was on a
never-ending treadmill of assignments. But looking back,
this rigor is exactly what made the difference.
Each project served as both a challenge and a stepping
stone. One week, we’d dive into data cleaning and
transformation; the next, we’d be using visualization tools
to extract insights. There was no “easy week” in this
program; each task was another piece of the puzzle, building
on the last, preparing us for real-world demands. My mentor
held us to a high standard, expecting precision, accuracy,
and timeliness, which taught me to be disciplined and
committed to my work in a way I hadn’t been before.
A friend who had completed the program a year before told me
that Vephla's data analytics curriculum was known for being
as intense as it was effective. She had warned me that the
program was “well-structured with a lot of discipline,” and
she was right. Vephla Uni’s program lived up to its
reputation—it was demanding, methodical, and rigorous,
designed to turn even the laziest students into hardworking,
dependable professionals. I am so thankful that I didn’t let
my usual habits hold me back and that I embraced the
program’s structure.
By the time I completed my course, I was not the same person
who had walked through Vephla Uni’s doors. The discipline
instilled in me, the habit of meeting deadlines, and the
thorough understanding of each data analytics process made
me realize I was prepared for more than just passing exams—I
was ready for a career. Only two months after graduation, I
landed my first role as a Data Analytics Intern, a position
that has allowed me to put everything I learned into
practice. From coding in R and SQL to presenting my insights
in clear, compelling visuals, I can see just how much the
rigorous training at Vephla has prepared me for this.
I am forever grateful to my mentor and to all the directors
at Vephla Uni who played a role in shaping this program. My
mentor, especially, deserves a special thanks—I can’t
express enough how much his no-nonsense approach pushed me
out of my comfort zone and taught me what true discipline
looks like. His guidance, his dedication, and his belief in
my potential have all been invaluable in shaping my career
and my future.
Thank you, Vephla Uni, for providing an environment that
demands excellence, nurtures growth, and truly prepares
students for the real world. I am proud to be a graduate of
such a transformative program and look forward to carrying
these lessons forward as I continue my journey in data
analytics.
