How states are answering the workforce's call for data science education

In this episode of Statehouse Spotlights, we share the weekly state actions highlights then dig into data science. Data science is an up-and-coming education policy area. If you’re a policymaker listening to this episode and we do a good job of making the case for prioritizing and investing in it—you and your state could end up a pioneer when it comes to data science education policy.   

The fact is: American industry runs on data. And while data keeps growing exponentially, the number of people who can draw insights from that data to solve real world problems isn’t keeping pace. Data scientists are in huge demand but more and more people are finding that skills in data collection, analysis and visualization are becoming critical to their careers.  

On this show, we share findings from a recent report by The Burning Glass Institute and our sister organization ExcelinEd that underscore the importance of K-12 data science education. 

Tune in as they provide insights into the state-level efforts in this area so far and which states are ripe for student-centered data science policy.
