The skills journey is a framework that will help employers, individuals and training providers to define the key skills and capabilities at each level of data literacy, supporting them to:

• recognise existing data skills and areas where they could improve;

• plan for future requirements and make informed skills investment decisions; and

• develop learning resources that support this.

The framework aims to support opportunities for reskilling and upskilling, addressing the needs – and gaps – that have been identified through our research. The skills and competencies detailed under each theme are therefore not intended to be an exhaustive mapping of each discipline, but rather highlight the key requirements and opportunities that can enable workforce development.
