is to clearly communicate my research findings and tell stories with the data. This course has given me a clear framework and methodology for creating more meaningful and useful data visualizations. Now I feel like I can hold a decent data vis conversation
with the analysts I work with, enabling better collaboration and more innovative ways to share my research insights.”</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

this learning amongst our existing busy schedules. The content was incredibly well aligned to our everyday analyses and it was particularly neat how a meeting with our international colleagues co-incidentally fell within the week we were exploring international
networks as part of the VAC. A great opportunity to immediately put our latest learning into practice!”</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

framework for data-driven decision making using the Data Visualization Language framework. The weekly curriculum was iterative and extensive enough to continue forward while also performing with my professional responsibilities. I did feel that it was extraordinarily
beneficial to take the certificate program within a larger cohort of professionals from the same organization, as this offered a greater impact to how we individually approached our projects with insights provided by internal colleagues as well as our external
course instructors."</span><span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
