Data Workforce

Federal agencies must have staff trained in supporting data innovation, analytics, management, and protection to facilitate priorities in the Federal Data Strategy and other cross-government initiatives. The Data Coalition supports efforts to upskill and reskill the current workforce to ensure modern capabilities remain for enabling the use of data in coming years. In 2022 priorities include:

• Encouraging data literacy and fluency of federal employees
• Share knowledge and capacity from private sector experts with public employees
• Creation of a Digital Services Academy
