The Talent Pipeline for Data Science in Government

Recording

Overview

The government needs talented data scientists, programmers, and analysts to successfully and ethically implement and employ modern data applications. The talent pipeline for federal data scientists is fragmented and a perennial issue for federal data managers seeking to hire and keep skilled employees. Seemingly small, but significant steps like creating a job series to reflect data professionals or providing professional development to larger challenges like retaining talent, stunt efforts, and, ultimately, solutions. During the Data Foundation’s Data Coalition Initiative virtual event, co-hosted with DLT Solutions and in partnership with Pluralsight, you will hear from federal leaders, academics, and specialists who worked to creatively develop a replicable talent pipeline.
