Everyone in our department, on some level, deals with data. ISED's Chief Data Office hosts a virtual series of learning events, which include speaker-led discussions and interactive forums.  These data-focused events aim to explore ISED’s role in the rapidly changing data landscape.  Together, we can better understand how to evolve and meet the ever-growing need to use data, both strategically and ethically, in order to better serve Canadians and their businesses.

Widespread data literacy is critical to enable a data-driven culture that is open, shares by default and realizes business value from data holdings. A data literate workforce is one that can use data to improve the quality of decisions and services; knows when and how to question validity of data; read, comprehend and use statistical information ethically; explore data to generate new ideas, methods and understanding; and represent information visually and communicate it to an audience. Data Personas are a mechanism for which each person to characterise their own 'day to day' relationship with data.
