Description

In the Data Strategy Roadmap for the Federal Public Service, the People and Culture component focusses on the need to ensure that the government has the talent and capacity needed to manage, interpret, use and understand data. One of the barriers identified to realizing this vision is the lack of data literacy skills among the public servants. To better understand the current gap, the Strategy calls for better measurement and training related to data literacy. Statistics Canada is currently working to seek ways to measure data literacy levels and training needs within the Government of Canada.

The purpose of this request for information (RFI) is to identify available and established tools to measure data literacy at the individual or person level that can be used among public servants in Canada to:

1) Provide Report on a baseline measure of data literacy;

2) Write summary reports; and

3) Identify training needs.
