By contrast, only 18% viewed a bachelor or  master\u2019s degree in science, let alone data science, or even a doctorate  degree as its primary consideration when hiring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This  means the opportunity to take advantage of improved career prospects  and salaries associated with data literacy is not limited to those with  degrees in data science or STEM subjects.  This follows a wider trend identified by&nbsp;<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\" (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.glassdoor.com\/blog\/no-degree-required\/\" target=\"_blank\">Glassdoor<\/a>&nbsp;that  an increasing number of technology companies are ditching the degree in  favor of these skills helping candidates get their foot in the door.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Actively Seeking Data Decision Makers<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Most  businesses (63%) are actively looking for candidates in all parts of  their organization that can demonstrate their ability to use, work with  and analyze data \u2013 presenting a good  opportunity for those who can demonstrate these valuable skills.

This is despite&nbsp;78%  of global employees saying they would be willing to invest more time and energy into improving their data skill sets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Those  individuals motivated to pursue their own up-skilling have the  opportunity to supercharge their career and unlock new opportunities \u2013  particularly as data grows in importance across  all enterprises.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Eighteen  percent (18%) of business decision makers said that a data-skills  certification \u2013 something that can be earned well after college or  formal education \u2013 was the best indicator  of a candidate\u2019s data literacy and demonstrated the ability to use the  techniques most required today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This  means anyone that invests in improving their data skills \u2013 no matter  what existing qualifications \u2013 can access more career opportunities  associated with data literacy.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote\"><p>\u201cWhat  we look for are people who are curious and inquisitive, have a passion  for doing the right thing, and are open to using data to find insights  that support better business outcomes,\u201d  said Lee Raybould, Chief Data Officer at Nationwide Building Society.  \u201cThe volume and variety of data is constantly growing, and the insights  it can unlock to allow firms to be more successful is incredible.
