What kind of quantitative qualifications are employers looking for?
Hey folks,
Can anyone recommend short courses (I don’t mind if they’re paid) to gain qualifications in quantitative skills necessary for working in intdev that employers would look favorably upon? A focus on health or development economics would be great.
I’m a recent International Relations/Social Policy Bachelor’s graduate starting a Master’s in Health and International Development.
From what I’ve read in this sub, it seems like gaining strong quantitative skills is the most effective way to get employed during these hard times. I’ve dabbled in a few quantitative analysis methods in my degree such as basic statistics and a decent amount of self-study in epidemiology but I’m worried that none of that is reflected in my CV.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated!
