Train 100 Data Analysts

The DSO’s Train 100 Data Analysts pilot is designed to test innovative solutions for sourcing, training, and securing Data Analysts into employment by delivering employer-led content and training job-ready employees.

Through the simplification of digital career pathways and efforts to make world-leading training more accessible, we provide targeted opportunities for diverse groups of people, including First Nations individuals and unemployed Australians, as we guide them through the digital education system and into employment.

As the practical component of the pilot draws to a close, in step with the completion of each of the providers training activities, the DSO’s focus shifts to analysing the data and assessing critical learnings. The pilot design and scope extends to assessing employer/student satisfaction, evaluation of which extends into early 2022.

Data, insights and observations from the Train 100 Data Analyst pilot will also feed into the broader DSO and DESE Qualifications Design Programme.

Building on the early success of employer-led content from the Train 100 pilot, we are trialing new ways of identifying national employer requirements for data analysts and the appropriate information to support consistently high-quality delivery from training providers. In doing so, we have the potential to drive a stronger understanding of digital skills and capabilities, enhance the relationship between employers and the training system, and support stronger employment outcomes for individuals who utilise our skills development approaches.
