Data Literacy : A critical  skill for the 21st century | Melbourne

About this event

The new breed of companies go beyond solely recording transactions or even recommending new products. They use data to predict and influence your next action. Simply put, data is the key to future-proof your career. This level of reliance on data requires everyone to be data literate. This skill is needed to support not only fact-based decision making but to enable users to explore and experiment with data to uncover future opportunities. There is no disagreement about the impact of data, a trend which is not going to slow down anytime soon.

What is even more important, is that making sense of data is no longer just a skill of data scientists and technology experts, but it is an essential skill for the rest of us. Universities and colleges are educating data scientists as fast as they can to satisfy the growing need. At the same time, not all jobs require hardcore data science skills, but what is desperately needed is for every employee to be data literate to participate in and contribute to the data economy.
