How the Digital Academy works

A practical academy for professionals who want to understand the world of data and learn how to use SQL - no technical background required. In this course, you’ll learn how to work with databases, write SQL queries, join data from multiple tables, and draw meaningful business insights. The final workshop focuses on presenting data and visualizations tailored to different audiences.

You’ll also receive personalized mentorship to get support with any other career challenges you face.

By the end of this academy, you’ll be able to:
  • Retrieve and analyze data using SQL
  • Interpret results and apply them to real-life decision-making
  • Communicate insights effectively across your organization

8 hours of Data & SQL workshops

We'll dive deep into data & SQL skills with interactive workshops and hands-on training.

Introduction to Data & SQL Basics

We’ll kick off by exploring how data supports better decision-making. You’ll get an introduction to databases, what SQL is used for, and write your first simple SQL queries (SELECT, FROM, WHERE). No prior coding knowledge needed.

Working with Real Data Using SQL

Dig deeper into SQL! Learn how to sort, filter, and explore datasets using ORDER BY, LIMIT, and conditional logic. You’ll also try basic functions like COUNT, AVG, and GROUP BY to uncover insights from real-world data and use aliases (AS) for clarity.

Joining Tables & Business Use Cases

Learn how to connect multiple datasets using JOINs (INNER JOIN, LEFT JOIN). We’ll walk through practical examples like analyzing customer behavior, marketing campaign results, or employee engagement data using combined sources.

Visualizing & Presenting SQL Insights

Once you’ve extracted your insights with SQL, learn how to turn them into clear, compelling visuals using tools like Google Sheets or Looker Studio. You'll also practice how to communicate your findings to non-technical stakeholders.

"Great program! My mentor match was perfect.. absolutely helpful and essential in guiding me and giving me support, practical advice and encouragement. The workshops were also practical and interesting."
Daniela McFarren
EU Public Affairs Manager
at DIAGEO
"It was invaluable for me to be able to talk with my mentor Kate Funk about things regarding the team or the different situations I was facing throughout the six months. I was also inspired by the drive other women in the program had to learn and grow and to see that the things we are dealing with are often similar no matter our background and that we can learn a lot from each other. Since my mentor lives in Florida, we had our sessions online, but we really clicked from the very first one. I learned the importance of having to lead myself first before I can be of any use to anybody else. We went through our Gallup test results which helped me understand my strengths much more and I also got many great tips for hiring as it’s something I’m also responsible for in my team."
Lenka Drbalova
Content & Sustainability Manager at GLAMI
"Femme Palette was a very inspiring and interesting project for me. Thanks to the program, I had the opportunity to meet many interesting women, share and develop my experience in the field of leadership and inspire each other. I appreciate not only the interesting Workshops, but also the tailor-made mentoring, which gave me the opportunity to solve current problems, but also the long-term strategy and direction of the team. Simply perfect!"

Katerina Grebenova

"The Leadership Program of Femme Palette has been a true blessing in my life. I have discovered a power within me that I didn't know about thanks to all their workshops and mentoring sessions, became more confident and have a clear vision of what to do to keep making progress in my life - as a professional and as an individual. I would recommend it a thousand times to everyone!"
