Government agencies increasingly rely on data to make informed decisions, optimize processes, and improve public services. A key part of unlocking value with data within government agencies, lies within data upskilling.

In this webinar, Stephen Simpkin, a Data Science Fellow, and Katy Bennett, a Senior Analyst, present their story of how they implemented a comprehensive data training program across their organization - from new graduates to senior leaders.
