Tableau has announced a commitment to enable 10 million data learners over the next five years. 
In ‘The Great Data Literacy Gap: Demand For Data Skills Exceeds Supply’, a Tableau-commissioned Forrester research study, recruiters ranked data literacy as the most in-demand skill for entry-level candidates.
“We’re in the golden era of data and analytics. Organizations are seeing an unprecedented explosion in the availability of and access to data. Businesses know they must tap into the power of data to stay agile and respond in this rapidly changing environment. For these businesses, success depends on training and enabling everyone in their organization to use data to make better decisions,” said Mark Nelson, President & CEO, Tableau.
Additionally, to help overcome the barriers that remain to skill-building programs, Tableau Foundation will launch a new $5 million, a multi-year initiative supporting global nonprofits committed to gender equity. Grants will support organizations helping women and girls learn essential data skills, with a focus on communities facing data literacy barriers.

Tableau will introduce new training and education opportunities and double down on existing programs to help people from all backgrounds and countries build essential data skills, including:
These programs build on and expand Tableau’s existing work with global partners, including Pathstream, Podium Education, All India Council for Technical Education (AICTE) and Fourthrev.
