Census Bureau to launch data science reskilling pilot as template for other agencies

Summary: As the Trump administration explores new ways to teach federal employees in-demand skills, the Census Bureau will launch its own data science reskilling program. Fifty employees will be chosen for the program’s first cohort in January. The bureau has stood up the pilot with help from the Chief Information Officers Council and the Office of Management and Budget, which last year launched a government-wide reskilling academy for cybersecurity skills.
