The Ferrero Group (“Ferrero”), a global confectionary group based in Italy, has joined forces with AstroLabs, MENA’s trusted partner for innovation and entrepreneurship, to launch a comprehensive data training program designed to enhance the data literacy and skills of over 130 talents. The participants enrolled in the program consisted of employees from various departments within Ferrero, including offices in Dubai, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, and Kuwait.
This strategic partnership was forged to empower Ferrero employees with the knowledge and tools necessary to leverage data effectively in their day-to-day operations.
Divided into five adaptive learning modules, with a focus on Excel training and Power BI, the tailored data training program spanned four weeks and encompassed a total of 20 sessions, equivalent to 60 hours of comprehensive training.
Participants in the program were able to gain practical knowledge and skills in areas such as building reports and dashboards using Power BI, data modeling with Power BI Desktop, and data storytelling for effective business communication. Moreover, they acquired the ability to translate raw data into meaningful insights, enabling data-driven decision-making across the organization. The curriculum also covered common data no-code tools that enhance efficiency and highlights real-world use cases where a data mindset can contribute to achieving more with fewer resources.
Through this partnership, AstroLabs and Ferrero are committed to equipping Ferrero employees with the knowledge and tools necessary to unlock the power of data. The program aims to cultivate a deep understanding of the role data plays in driving business growth and enable participants to confidently present data-backed insights to key stakeholders.
