With this in mind, our Education curriculum is specifically designed to ensure your entire team gets the most from your technology investment. Our qualified instructors can help equip teams of all skill and experience levels with the education needed to run a successful Data & Insights program.

With your Education Package, you’re ensuring that all of your Data & Insights users have access to the training they need to do their jobs - whenever they need it through the Data & Insights Education Portal at learn.socrata.com.

What is a Cohort?

A cohort is virtual, instructor-led training where learners focus on specific learning outcomes in small groups over an intensive time horizon ranging from 1-4 weeks. Cohorts are offered in a format that best accomplishes customer objectives and audience needs, and provide an interactive setting for learners who are colleagues to build community, foster collaboration, and encourage progress toward a common goal.​
