View company profile

We are Data Society, a team of passionate educators, data scientists, and consultants dedicated to making data science accessible and exciting for everyone. Our journey began with a simple yet powerful belief: when organizations are equipped with the right data and AI skills, they unlock new possibilities for growth, innovation, and impact. We saw a critical gap between the technical world of data analysis and the practical needs of business decision-makers, and we set out to bridge it. Our mission is to transform the way professionals learn and apply data science, breaking down the barriers to mastering these complex but crucial skills. We work hand-in-hand with government agencies and private sector organizations to build tailored data science training programs that foster a data-driven culture from the ground up. We believe that data is only as powerful as the people who use it, and we're committed to empowering workforces to think smarter, move faster, and lead with confidence in this data-driven world.

Our approach is rooted in creating intuitive, practical, and high-quality learning experiences. We don't believe in rigid routines; instead, we foster a flexible and autonomous environment that maximizes the success and happiness of our team and our clients. We've been recognized for our innovative approach, named one of Inc. 5000's fastest-growing private companies for three consecutive years and awarded as one of Fast Company's 2023 Best Workplaces for Innovators in Education. Beyond training, we develop bespoke AI and data solutions, helping organizations strategically integrate automation to optimize workflows, improve decision-making, and drive innovation. From Fortune 500 companies to federal agencies, we've helped countless professionals turn from being overwhelmed by data to becoming confident, data-driven leaders. We are more than just a company; we are a community of problem-solvers, creative thinkers, and collaborators who are passionate about empowering the workforce of the future. We are always looking for individuals who share our commitment to excellence and are excited to be at the forefront of data science education.
