What you'll do, and what you'll demonstrate.
Design a climate transition risk stress test for a regional bank's commercial loan portfolio to identify vulnerable sectors and recommend mitigation actions.
This is not a data exercise. It is the work an analyst or data scientist does when stakeholders need answers from messy data. That distinction matters to every hiring manager who has seen candidates describe statistical methods and none who have extracted insight from messy, incomplete, real-world data.
When you finish, you will have something most graduates do not: a real-world deliverable, verified by Ewance, that you can show to a hiring manager and say "I did this. Here is the proof."
