Creating a Data Skills Revolution
Strategic, impactful and scalable data skills development is now critical for business performance and the economy at large. In response, Imperial College Business School and Corndel, one of the UK’s leading workplace training and development partners, have expanded their highly successful skills partnership to offer world-class, high impact development programmes in data literacy and data analytics. All funded through the Apprenticeship Levy.
The launch comes amid recent warnings from the Learning & Work Institute UK that the UK is at risk of sleepwalking to stagnation in skills. Whilst demand for data skills continues to rise significantly, the UK risks failing to develop a high skill, high wage economy fit to compete in the 21st Century.
