Career change to data professions

An intensive 3-month program to change careers and access the most sought-after positions in the sector.

Data has become a strategic asset for every organisation. It helps understand customers, steer the business, automate processes, manage risk and feed artificial intelligence projects. But accumulating data is no longer enough: it has to be collected, structured, made reliable, used and governed. This shift is creating growing demand for people who can bridge technology, data and business needs. In France, 34% of companies with 10 or more employees already reported carrying out data analysis in 2023.

DATA, at the heart of business transformation

A resource that has become strategic

From customer relations to finance, from industry to healthcare, organisations produce more data every day. Their ability to use it quickly and reliably has become a driver of performance, innovation and competitiveness.

The foundation of AI and decision-making

High-performing AI depends first on data that is accessible, reliable, documented and secure. The rise of AI therefore increases the need for data engineering as much as the stakes of data quality, governance and control.

Data careers: two complementary areas of expertise

Data engineering & platforms

Building the technical foundations of data.

Collect, store, transform and move data at scale. These roles design the architectures, pipelines and platforms that make data available, reliable and usable.

Data Engineer programme — Data Architecture & Industrialisation

Analysis, quality & governance

Turning data into decisions and trust.

Understand business needs, analyse data and create value from it, while ensuring its quality, traceability and sound governance across the organisation.

Business Data Analyst & Data Steward programme — Data Governance & Value

From engineering to governance, Data brings together very different yet deeply complementary roles: some build the infrastructure that moves data, others make it understandable, reliable and usable across the business.

Data careers: the complete 2026 guide

Data architecture, data quality or data governance: every profile can find a way in. Our Data training programmes, available in particular through France Travail's POEI scheme, are designed to complete this career change into data in three months.

POEI — Préparation Opérationnelle à l'Emploi Individuelle

Training for an identified hire

A company wants to hire a candidate who lacks certain skills. The POEI lets that candidate train before starting the job, as part of a hiring project approved with France Travail.

POEC — Préparation Opérationnelle à l'Emploi Collective

Collective training towards employment

A professional sector or its OPCO identifies hiring needs. The POEC lets several jobseekers develop the skills in demand, as part of a collective programme organised with the partners involved.
