Parsons problems are well-regarded activities for scaffolding beginner programmers. We present a technique for employing Parsons problems in a cohort of professionals aiming to upskill in programming and data analytics. Recognising the distinct learning needs of this demographic and the limitations of traditional coding exercises in assisting their learning, we developed a series of Parsons problems focused on both foundational programming constructs, and specialised topics within the domain of data analytics.
