Our aim is to close both the data divide and attainment gap in Scotland. We are working to change the face of Scotland’s future talent pool by reaching underrepresented communities in data world. We introduce learners to data literacy and analytics skills, provide critical scaffolding for them which are a prerequisite for numeracy, problem solving, critical thinking and socio-emotional skills We work with our partners to increasing the representation of disadvantaged groups in the data economy by promoting apprenticeship, data mentoring and work placement.
