Those skills also help develop the critical thinking and problem-solving skills that you're looking for. Employer 2: We actually depend on our third-party vendors to support our databases. And then we do know SQL, of course. And we do all of our own reporting and stuff. But our third-party vendors pretty much build it and push it out to us, and then we grab the data for reporting. But I think it's important, absolutely." |

So, I think there's certainly a gap we have a need for. Employer 2: We do get requests for analytics, not so much as straight programming, but the need is definitely there. Employer 1: And that's a significant part of our business, is analytics. I think it's going to grow. Employer 2: I think it's just going to continue to grow." |
