Skills

The Task Force Skills focuses on the growing pervasiveness of data in business and society that has made a central need for data scientists to help organisations extract knowledge from their data. Filling this skills gap in Europe is a challenging task that has many facets, such as: 

• Educators (from academy to any organisation offering courses) need to know the needs and fills the gaps for different levels of expertise (professional/theoretical, formal/non-formal); 
• Employers needs to hire/retrain personnel with the proper skills, depending on the kind of organisation (SME/large industry) different approaches are possible; 
• Employees and students need to get their skills recognised;

BDVA’s Task Forces meet regularly, discussing the latest updates from the ecosystem, collaborating on publications and organising events. Check out BDVA’s activities and make sure to stay tuned!
