Become a Data-Confident Public Servant
Who is this course for?
Any public servant or policymaker who wants to feel more confident about reading and working with data.
What will I learn?
It’s no secret that data is a hot topic in the public service. Reports are being written about it, government-wide training is being rolled out in some countries and it’s generally being regarded as the most important skill a public servant can learn since writing an email.
But one of the biggest barriers to embracing data in the public service isn’t necessarily skill; it’s confidence.
In this free course, you’ll learn how to build your confidence with data in the public service. Discover why data confidence is essential for public servants in any role, what kinds of questions you should ask when faced with data and what kind of skills you’ll need to work with the data.
