Hyderabad: US-based Tableau, a Salesforce company and an analytics platform, has committed to enable 10 million data learners over the next five years.

For organisations striving to become data-driven, hiring people to work with, interpret, analyse and make decisions with data is more important than ever. In ‘The Great Data Literacy Gap: Demand for Data Skills Exceeds Supply’, a Tableau-commissioned Forrester research study, recruiters ranked data literacy as the most in-demand skill for entry-level candidates.

While 83 per cent of CEOs expect their organisations to be more data-driven, people often lack essential data skills with only 33 per cent of employees comfortable using data analytics to support their decisions.

Organisations are seeing an unprecedented explosion in the availability of and access to data. Businesses know they must tap into the power of data to stay agile and respond in this rapidly changing environment. For these businesses, success depends on training and enabling everyone in their organisation to use data to make better decisions, said Mark Nelson, president & CEO, Tableau.

With demand for data skills outpacing supply, data skills are no longer exclusively essential for data scientists or technical roles — to build truly data-driven organisations, employees across the entire enterprise must be data literate. This will help companies become data-driven and strengthen the Tableau Economy – an ecosystem of businesses, tech partners and people leading the data transformation.

This pledge accelerates Tableau’s long-standing commitment to closing the data literacy gap and will help people grow valuable, inclusive businesses, make data-driven decisions and build careers with in-demand skills. The company estimates this grows its current data education commitment by 200 per cent.
