Course Details

With funders expecting quantifiable outcomes from their partners, your nonprofit's ability to communicate impact through high-quality data visualizations is increasingly critical. This intermediate-level, hands-on computer lab course teaches the basics of the Tableau software, and how to turn large data sets into informative visualizations that can be used with your staff, board, and funders. We'll analyze sample programmatic data and learn how to put the findings into context, integrating them with external market data. Along with technical skills in Tableau, you’ll leave with online data resources and a better understanding of how to bring data into decision-making. This course is intended for data practitioners or analysts with a basic understanding of analytical methods and how to manipulate data (e.g., creating pivot tables or interpreting scatterplots).
