D2D CRC has supported over 70 PhD students across its five-year funding period, with eight thesis submissions to date and several more pending.
To support the development of a sustainable data science workforce for Australia. we created an Australian-first Data Science Competency Framework and associated Development Planning Tool.
The framework was developed by data science professionals for data science professionals - people with an inherent understanding of what is required to successfully fulfil these types of roles, as well as grow into new opportunities as they develop.
It sets out the skills and attributes of each data science job family generally, so it can be applied across organisations while still producing a standard for each individual to work towards and meet.
The Development Planning Tool is a web-based application where users answer a series of questions and rate their competency against a variety of criteria.
The tool shows the end user their results against the benchmark for their role and maturity level - it shows areas of success and gives suggestions for development.
