It may seem counterintuitive to think of data engineers needing to improve Data Literacy, the ability to read, work with, analyze, and argue with data. After all, data engineers apply technical Data Literacy skills to build and optimize operating systems and pipeline channels. At the same time, data engineers show gaps in using organizational Data Literacy and communicating internally across their companies, and this is where they require Data Literacy training.
Managers see that data engineers apply their Data Literacy skills well to solve problems like prompt data delivery among several services. However, the same data engineers work inefficiently by moving data across more services than necessary, suggesting poor organizational Data Literacy.
