This workshop has been designed to help you build your confidence in working with data by breaking down key concepts, challenging common assumptions, and giving an overview of the entire data life cycle. Whether you are new to data or are looking to strengthen your skills, this session will give you the framework and strategies to help you make sense of numbers.

By the end of this workshop, you will:
