Data Literacy Programs 101: The What, Why and How to Get Started
Listen in on a Data Foundation interview with Val on how to get started on a successful Data Literacy Program.
Overview
While living in unprecedented times, one thing is clear: the ability to make data-informed and evidence-based decisions has never been more critical in our work lives and personal lives. Data literacy has been emerging steadily as a top priority for workforce upskilling, yet we now also see firsthand the criticality of citizen data literacy.
As a basis for near-term steps and longer-term planning, this webinar set a baseline and common language to address:
-
What is data literacy and why does it matter now (individually and collectively)?
-
What does a data literacy program include, and who is doing this today?
-
What are the key steps to get started?
