# Data and AI capability for everyone

Improving the data and AI capability of our workforce is essential to help organisations build responsible data and AI practices, and get more value from the data they hold. We do this through training, research, and partnerships that help organisations build this capability for themselves.

The assignments were the highlight of the course. They were well designed – it’s good to use real live data from a different sphere than I’m used to working in. And I really liked how they built on the previous assignment learnings.

 

###### Digital Analyst, Boots

This has been an eye-opening journey for me. Looking at data over the last six weeks I learned to understand it’s value, different ways of looking at it, the impact it can have on people’s lives and the value of predicting the future.

 

###### Gretl M

This course has been awesome and a great stepping stone to build confidence in using data no matter which industry you are from.

 

###### Director, Qina Consulting
