Trying to change careers?

I have a degree in Computer Systems engineering and job history in the digital services field mostly in UI UX design (minor focused front-end dev) and minor experience as an embedded programming using Python and C/C++. I am really trying to shift gears in to data engineer and analytics, but even entry-level positions require some experience. I have taken course to build technical skills however most employers don’t understand why I qualify given my professional experience. Any advice how to make a career shift or how to bridge the gaps?
