Data Fluency for Communicators Centennial College

Overview

Key facts

In our work life, we encounter data when we login to the work systems, or make or receive calls to customers or use our computers. But are we fluent enough to be able understand, interpret, and present data to anyone in our teams or company? Are we fluent with data?

Today, a basic fluency with data is a skill that every employee in an organization is required to have just as we are fluent in the language we speak. Whether we are a self- employed entrepreneur, Startup or an individual looking to increase our personal profile, we make decisions about data--at the individual, team, department or organization levels, no matter the industry. Data fluency makes people critical consumers and users of data in work environments, a skill that employers look for as they upskill their workforce to create a more data fluent corporate culture.
