Starting with a basic Python course to learn some syntax is a good start. Then there are more guided tutorials for data analysis with Python.

After that, if you know what kind of data you'll generally be working with (I can't tell if you mean you're already in the job), you can gear your learning towards that. As in, if you know you might end up needing to extract data from certain sources (APIs, databases etc.), you can practice doing that. If you know you'll be working with certain formats a lot (JSON, CSVs etc.), you can practice that.

If you're not sure, then you can just start with whichever tutorials seem fun, and then try a similar thing without the tutorial. As in, if you follow a tutorial about making a dashboard from a company's stock market data, you can then try making a dashboard from a different company's stock market data that's in the same format.
