Data Skills from Imperial College Business School & Corndel

Strategic, scalable data skills development funded by the Apprenticeship Levy
Get in touch
Strategic, impactful and scalable data skills development is now critical for business performance and the economy at large. In response, Imperial College Business School and Corndel, one of the UK’s leading workplace training and development partners, have expanded their highly successful skills partnership to offer world-class, high impact development programmes in data literacy and data analytics. All funded through the Apprenticeship Levy.
The launch comes amid recent warnings from the Learning & Work Institute UK that the UK is at risk of sleepwalking to stagnation in skills.

I am delighted to hear about the great work our Data Analytics apprentices are doing and how new data skills are already being put into practice. YOOX NET-A-PORTER is committed to building a data-driven culture and Corndel has been pivotal in enabling us to align the investment of our Apprenticeship Levy with this important strategic objective."

Richard Head, Head of Digital Analytics Johnson Matthey

We are very excited to be launching the Data Analytics Diploma with Corndel. We’re building a data-driven culture at Johnson Matthey and this programme is a fantastic opportunity to develop data skills across the business."

Jane Gibbs, Head of Talent and Development, Adecco

A key part of The Adecco Group’s digital strategy is to get more out of our BI systems and really use the wealth of data that’s available. This is only possible if we build data literacy at scale.
Our people need to be confident enough to understand the data, handle it securely and use that information to inform business decisions. The Corndel model works brilliantly for our learners."

Lynsey Taylor, Apprenticeship Manager, Asda

Corndel fully understands our strategic and organisational aims. Our learning and development strategy is based upon organisational need and a desire to offer all our colleagues a succession plan. Corndel’s programmes support this. From the learning materials and programme modules being tailored to the requirements that we have from our managers, to the individualised one-to-one coaching that all learners benefit from when they enrol on a Corndel programme, Corndel’s programmes deliver tangible, measurable benefits."
