20+ #Veterans with #SecurityClearances have recently entered our pipeline. This didn’t happen by chance—it’s the result of teams working together to ensure that when someone didn’t fit one path, there was always another opportunity ready. That’s what a real pipeline looks like. Building a quality pipeline of vetted data professionals at every level? That’s where most organizations struggle. Becoming an apprenticeship company is easy. We’ve got that covered. We sponsor you. We provide the journeyworkers. Apprenticeships also come with real incentives—just ask the apprenticeship offices in AL, LA, and SC. They’ll tell you the same thing. If you have open opportunities for #Veterans with #SecurityClearances—or you're ready to build talent the right way—let’s connect. Alabama Office of Apprenticeship|ALABAMA DEPARTMENT OF WORKFORCE Louisiana Works South Carolina Department of Employment and Workforce Mark Pretnar and Scott Clark thank you for being great stewards of people.

About us
ThinkData Solutions, Inc. is a woman- and minority-owned technology firm founded in 2011 by Daniel Bishop and Robin E. Hunt. We built ThinkData with a vision to merge our strengths in data, software development, and training to empower organizations with real, scalable solutions. We are a nimble team of creative problem-solvers who don’t just code—we create with intention. Every solution we build is rooted in solving a business problem and enabling our clients to do more with their data. From automating workflows and streamlining reporting to crafting entire custom applications, we work across a wide range of tools and platforms. We’re tool-agnostic and fluent in translating between business needs and technical implementation. Our development services focus on capturing quality data and building tools that make that data useful, accessible, and actionable. We partner closely with clients to design tools that don’t just work—but work the way they need them to. Because we know that tools are only as effective as the people using them, training is at the heart of what we do. Our corporate training programs are designed to build long-term capability by helping teams develop the skills to manage, analyze, and communicate with data. We offer live in-person or virtual training options and provide resource-rich materials for continued learning. Many of our clients rely on us not just to train—but to train on the exact software and systems we build. We help teams gain confidence in their data, their tools, and their decisions.

The conversation around the “data talent gap” is evolving. It’s no longer just about data. It’s about data + AI skills and the ability to apply both in real business contexts. That’s exactly what we’ll be digging into in this upcoming webinar: We’ll share how organizations are: • Building internal pipelines for data + AI talent • Using funded programs to scale workforce development • Leveraging bootcamps and apprenticeships to drive real outcomes If you’re thinking about how to prepare your workforce for the AI transition, this will be a valuable session.
Most companies don’t have a hiring problem. They have a pipeline problem. Everyone is competing for the same “ready-made” talent… …and paying full price for it. But there’s another way to build your team— and funding is available to support it. We’re hosting an event to show how companies are: - Building data talent from within - Using apprenticeship models to reduce hiring risk - Leveraging available funding instead of carrying the full cost alone This isn’t theory. This is a workforce strategy that’s already working. If you’re struggling to hire for data, tech, or security roles— you need to see this. Join us. Let’s build your pipeline the right way. #Apprenticeships #Data #Training #Funding

Are you struggling to find talent with the right data skills—or wishing your current team could do more with the tools they already have? At ThinkData, we work with organizations to build talent pipelines through structured training and apprenticeship models. Instead of hoping to find the “perfect hire,” we help you develop them. Our bootcamps are designed to equip individuals with practical, business-ready data skills—and our apprenticeship approach allows you to shape that talent directly within your organization. In many cases, funding options are available to support training and apprenticeship programs, reducing the cost of investing in your workforce. If you're thinking about how to grow your team’s capabilities or build a stronger pipeline of data talent, I’d be glad to connect and talk through what this could look like for your organization. - Robin Hunt

ThinkData Solutions, Inc (ThinkData) is proud to announce that its Data Analyst Bootcamp has been officially included on Alabama’s Eligible Training Provider List (ETPL) and approved for the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) funding. This recognition marks a significant milestone in ThinkData’s ongoing mission to make data literacy and high-impact analytics skills accessible to a broader workforce audience. Building on this achievement is the expansion of the Data Analyst Bootcamp and the Data Analyst Apprenticeship to Louisiana and South Carolina. With this growth, residents of those states can now benefit from the same high-quality training and career support that has made the program a success in Alabama.

Daniel Bishop, Co-Founder of ThinkData Solutions, Inc., has always believed that talent grows where opportunity exists—through access to quality education, strong mentorship, and meaningful professional networks. While building at ThinkData Solutions, Inc, Daniel began to see a larger challenge: #training alone wasn’t enough to help individuals truly transition into data and technology careers. What people needed was a pathway to apply their skills in real environments while continuing to learn. That realization led to a defining insight: the most powerful way to support individuals, strengthen companies, and grow the data workforce is through apprenticeships that combine education with hands-on experience.

Claudia Powell thank you for being willing to share data upskilling to the kids in our community!!!
Had a great time tonight talking with ALABASTER CITY SCHOOL DISTRICT students at Thompson Intermediate School about data. Here are some data points some students came up with about giant swabs!

Robin Hunt says it best. Starting out or starting over - consider data.

Yes. Yes. Yes.
Data is a skilled trade. I hope more companies start to recognize that. Maybe that belief comes from being blue-collar at my core. That works out just fine—blue happens to be my favorite color and our brand color. Coincidence? Maybe. Still fitting. At ThinkData Solutions, Inc., #apprenticeship and #workforce education aren’t buzzwords—they’re the focus. We’re different because we do what we teach and practice what we preach every day. Our colleagues can speak to the strength of our team, but I’ll say this confidently: If you’re exploring how to build, grow, or mature your data talent, you should be looking closely at us. And this year’s #ThinkDataBootcamps are something special. Learners won’t just learn from our instructional team and me—they’ll also learn directly from Gini von Courter and Bill Shander. That kind of access matters. Data work is real work. It deserves real training. And real career pathways. #DataIsASkilledTrade #Apprenticeship #WorkforceDevelopment #DataCareers #ThinkDataSol CompTIA #Data+
