WASHINGTON, D.C. – The use of data, or lack thereof, in government decision making is in the news daily. Questions abound on how the Federal government stores, analyzes, and accesses data and how, especially at this moment, there are fundamental decisions on the structure and impact of the government being made using massive collections of data as a guide. All these actions underscore the power of data and the crucial role it has come to play in how policy decisions are made, both at the federal and state levels. 

At Coleridge Initiative, we have long partnered with government agencies to unlock the power of data for public good. We believe that data, when used effectively, is a powerful tool that brings clarity for leaders; it’s a catalyst for informed decision-making, and a driver of real impact in communities. Whether it’s improving educational outcomes, shaping economic and workforce policies, or optimizing public resources, our focus on data-driven collaboration has highlighted firsthand how it leads to smarter and more effective policies.

As always, we are committed to bridging the gap between data and decision-making. Because we believe the most good comes from sharing knowledge and learning together, we are happy to announce that we are currently offering several of our core services at no cost to partner organizations and those who wish to learn more about Coleridge Initiative. 

We are pleased to offer fully subsidized seats to state agency staff and their nonprofit partners for our highly regarded Applied Data Analytics Training. Our 2025 offerings will focus on the domains of secondary and post-secondary education, corrections, and workforce.

In addition, we welcome meetings and conversations with state and federal leaders to discuss access and complimentary seats to the ADRF, our FedRAMP authorized computational research platform, where we provide educational tools, videos, and presentations on best practices in coding.
