Data Tools, Strategies and Skills for Non-Experts
Data is the foundation of today’s most transformative technologies — from AI and automation to digital services. But many government agencies still face a gap: how to become more data-centric when specialized talent is limited.
The solution: Smarter tools, accessible technologies, and targeted upskilling that empower more employees to work confidently with data.
Join us online Wednesday, Nov. 5 at 2 p.m. ET/11 a.m. PT to hear from government and industry leaders about how agencies can close the data skills gap and build a stronger, more agile workforce.
Specifically, you’ll learn:
- Where agencies are falling short in data literacy — and how to fix it.
- Tools and platforms that make data more accessible across teams.
- How upskilling programs can transform both individual careers and agency-wide impact.
