Data Warehousing Specialists

Become a member of the Technology Student Association (http://www.tsaweb.org), which will provide you with an opportunity to explore career opportunities in technology, science, engineering, and mathematics, enter academic competitions (including one in Data Science and Analytics), and participate in summer exploration programs.

Participate in information interviews with data warehousing managers. In such an interview—which can be conducted in-person, on the phone, or through video-conferencing technology—you will get the opportunity to ask child life specialists about their job duties, work environment, likes and dislikes about their careers, educational training, and other topics that will help you to learn more about the field. Ask your school counselor or a computer science teacher to help you set up information interviews. In addition, participate in job-shadowing experiences with specialists to learn more about the field.
