I can thoroughly recommend trying to develop visualisation and BI skills using power BI. There are also many other tools to develop skills, LinkedIn learning and much more. I would encourage anyone to try makeover Monday where you can play with data sets published every Monday. A great way to develop skills and learn from others at the same time.
