• Abstract:
  This report describes an 18-month effort to develop a prototype data science upskilling program for Turner-Fairbank staff. Critical findings that shaped the development of the prototype were: R&D managers who may need to engage with the R&D themselves should be core target audience for the program; the program must be multi-level, including a foundational level, optional specialized training, and individual advising; to start, the program should center on self-service course offerings. The effort concluded with pilot testing of a prototype program and a study of recommended steps that Turner-Fairbank leaders can take to encourage staff to use skills they learn in the training.
