For many businesses, the data journey begins and ends with a spreadsheet. But what happens when you hit the limits of Excel? How do you build a truly data-literate workforce capable of driving real strategy?

In the first-ever episode of The BPP Digital Edge, host Idris Fabiyi sits down with Donna Kane, Programme Lead for Data at BPP, to map out the modern data journey. They uncover a "quiet revolution" where the most impactful data professionals aren't new graduates, but experienced employees being upskilled with foundational data skills.

In this episode, you will learn:

• The key milestones in the evolution of data tools, from Excel's dominance to the rise of Power BI.
• Why the typical data apprentice is often an experienced professional looking to level up, not a school leaver.
• A clear breakdown of what a "Data Technician" apprenticeship actually involves.
• The essential skills—from AI awareness to security—that data professionals need for the future of work.
• Donna's single most important piece of advice is for any organisation beginning its data transformation.

Tune in to discover how to unlock the hidden data potential that already exists within your team.
