Hi Norwood,
congratulations on your internship - this seems like a really exiting opportunity!
To your question - the type of projects you can work on really depend on the type of data analyst skills you'd like to develop.
For instance, if you're focused more on data visualization - you can check out our data visualization course. There is a project in Tableau and Excel based on a real data set from an FMCG company: https://learn.365datascience.com/courses/data-visualization/what-does-the-course-cover If you are interested in data visualization, you can also check out our blog article on data visualization project ideas, maybe you'll find something inspiring there: https://365datascience.com/data-visualization-project-ideas/ Or if you're looking to learn about data preprocessing you can check out our course in Python, which focuses on preprocessing with NumPy. This includes a case study with financial data: https://365datascience.com/courses/data-preprocessing-numpy/ We also offer a course on data cleaning and preprocessing, again in Python but with the help of the pandas library. Though it doesn't involve a complete case study at the end, it is a very comprehensive overview of the pandas capabilities: https://learn.365datascience.com/courses/data-cleaning-preprocessing-pandas/introduction-to-the-pandas-library Do feel free to check them out. And if you have an idea of the kind of projects you'd like to see on our platform, we'd love to hear from you.

Best,
Elitsa
