Build data literacy skills

94% of people using data in their current role agree that data helps them do their job better.*

Data literacy is a set of skills and knowledge use to find, understand and evaluate data to make meaningful business decisions in an organisation.  The more data literate your organisation, from the leadership team and across all business units, the better your people can be prepared to make data-informed decisions to drive actionable outcomes.  

With 90%* of the world’s data created in the last two years and 76%* of Australian businesses investing in data analytics in the next two years, having data literate people means that you’re prepared for the forefront of management and innovation.  

There are, however, big gaps in the data literacy of our workforce. Employees without the skills required to work with data will struggle to match the performance of colleagues who are more experienced and will fail to keep up with the needs of their organisations.   

We can help you invest in and train your current workforce to build the data literacy and professional data capabilities your business needs. Our co-designed microcredentials and short courses can see your people develop their data skills by working with your real data sets to gain valuable business insights and tell business-relevant data stories.
