Ans: Vicky, You have not mentioned you are from which State/City.

Anyway, to begin with, please search for any 'Software Training & Placement Institutes' either in your location or nearby city. To get an idea about this type of Institute, visit the website of 'Besant Technologies'. They provide comprehensive range of courses to not only fresh graduates but also to others regardless of other background/graduation year.

Some of the institutes provide job assistance and even give job guarantee (based on your performance during training/interview).

Please check and go through the above Institute's Website (as an example) and search for same type of Institutes, personally visit some institutes (especially those which assures job), choose the right course for you and join.

As far as Data Science is concerned, this type of Institute also provided the same.

All the BEST for Your Bright Future, Vicky.

Career

Dear Sir, Im running 53 age, basically im BA + PGDHRM Graduate +Computer course Now iam a private company employee working as Sr.Executive office, i have blindly worked 17 years in our existing company without any strong financial benifits. and having low salary. Now I decided to do data science or any company work related course for my better carrier for remaining work period. so, my question is, can i get a better job in any company in this age, and also please inform me which course is better to me for my remaining future. (short term course). Now im working perfectly in MS Office & Tally.etc. please guide.

Ans: Dear Mr. Rao,
As you are already 53 and would be reaching superannuation in a few years, it is advisable to stick to the same company. If you want to change, you must look to upgrade your skills in AI and Data Science. These are the 2 skills which would be in high demand in the next 2 years and shift to a good company.
