Sounds like you just have some learning gaps to fill in and need guidance on how to fill them. Beyond that, I recommend interning or volunteering to gain industry experience and domain expertise (e.g. retail, real estate, healthcare, education, pharma, politics, etc). But first thing's first!

Regarding your skills gaps, you may find these courses helpful on Coursera (I took them myself):

Data Science Math Skills - to review the basics and fill in any foundational gaps https://www.coursera.org/learn/datasciencemathskills

Executive Data Science - for high level overview of the field and better understanding of types of roles available https://www.coursera.org/specializations/executive-data-science

You might also check out courses in these specializations (although I have not personally reviewed them):

That depends on what you need. Lectures? Practice problems? Extra help with certain concepts?

Khan Academy is a good place to start.

Paul's Online Math Notes is a popular resource for people who want an online reference.

PurpleMath is often useful if you just need to look up one specific thing.
