If you want a portfolio that lands interviews, favor project-heavy programs (Udacity, Coursera specializations, Harvard capstones). If you’re looking for practical, employer-valued skills, combine one tool-specific course with one course on design and storytelling. That mix — technique plus judgment — is what separates basic chart- makers from confident communicators.
