Skills to list on your CV
Digital data are an asset: they have value. They are expensive to produce, store, and maintain. They can be bought or sold. They are so critical to deliver services and making decisions that is hard to imagine how a Commerce graduate could start a successful career without a deep understanding of data technologies to improve business, or without mastering digital technology skills.
