How does the real-client project work? What am I expected to do?
After finishing the three courses, students enrolled in the ACAP - Career Transition Track, form project teams. Each project team works directly with a client to solve a real business problem they are facing using the structured BADIR framework they have learnt in the class.
The projects take 6-8 weeks to finish and are done remotely as teams meet with clients over web conferencing tools. The teams start with a real business question, lay out a hypotheses driven plan, collect data and present actionable insights to the client. The client then executes on these insights to drive real results.
Aryng trainees have identified actionable insights that has driven millions of dollars in impact for our clients.
Here are some sample client projects from past:
- California Department of Motor Vehicle - Estimate and reduce revenue losses due to fraud
- Just Answer - Identify detractors of cart conversion produced $4M in impact
- Namo Solutions - Understand drivers of growth and identify product up-sell opportunities delivered $5M+ in impact
- Employ Bridge - Determine reasons for customer churn and low NPS score - ongoing
- Symantec - Optimize Market Distribution Fund
- GE - Mapping robotic talent and skills in Greater Boston Area for GE HR strategy - $5M+ potential impact
After finishing the project, trainees usually get a LinkedIn recommendation from their respective clients.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ken Calhoon
VP of Data Analytics at Ritchie Bros.
“In making my data science transition, Aryng delivered three benefits that are hard to find in any other training program. Firstly, before starting, an insightful discussion with Piyanka about potential roles and career opportunities validated that a data science career-shift made sense for me. Secondly, Aryng focuses not just on gaining analytic insights but also on using those insights to affect real change--they constantly challenge the analyst to ask ‘so what?’ And thirdly, the opportunity to apply my learning in a challenging real-time client project was incredibly valuable in solidifying the approaches and gaining some experience. If you want to just learn analytic techniques, there are many options out there. However, if you want to learn how to use analytics to make a strong organizational impact, I cannot recommend Aryng more highly.”

The principles and framework taught gave me the confidence to trust in my decisions and the hands-on exercises provided me with the skillset to apply my learnings to real world situations. The online training afforded me the scheduling flexibility I needed at a cost I could afford. I would highly recommend this program for anyone looking to transform their career and looking for a timely, flexible and cost effective means of doing so.”

Don’t be fooled by the word, Trainee. Aryng’s Trainees are nothing like a typical trainee or intern type of program. The quality of the Aryng curriculum is clearly evident based both on the caliber of the student the program attracts as well from the how adroitly the Trainee was able to apply the concepts of what they had learned to eQuest’s business data. Most importantly, the interpretation of the analysis was top-notch. I look forward to continue working with future Trainee’s from Aryng.
