Snowflake Launches Free Hands-On Data and AI Training Programs by Job Role

At a glance

Snowflake has released 'Snowflake Practitioner,' a free training program that teaches people how to use data and AI in their actual work. The program started from the view that people's skills are key to using AI well inside a company. It targets customers and partners around the world.

Key points

1. 1

   Participants first learn common basics, then practice by job role.

2. 2

   The training lasts two days and includes instructor-led public and private courses, as well as online courses that can be taken at any time.

3. 3

   Roles are divided into three tracks: data analyst, data engineer, and platform administrator.

4. 4

   The analyst course covers data queries (commands for finding needed information in data) and AI-based analysis. The engineer course covers building data pipelines (flows that collect, process, and move data).

Why it matters

It shows that even when AI produces analysis results, employees who do not understand what the data means have difficulty using them in real business decisions.
