Your Data Search Simplified: CTData Launches New Website
It all begins with a question, a question that you think can be easily answered with data. You sit down at your computer, fueled by curiosity and ready to find your solution. Fast forward several hours, and you’ve stared at the monitor for so long you can feel your eyes melting. How can one question that seems so simple be so complicated to answer? You don’t need magic or a data fairy godparent, you just need the brand new CTDATA.ORG.
We transformed our website to make finding the data you need easier than ever. With over 200 datasets at your fingertips, we organized our data by topic to help you find answers quickly. If you can’t find exactly what you’re looking for, we can point you in the right direction using our Data Helpline.
Engage with data in new ways by exploring our interactive projects on subjects ranging from business to migration. These projects blend stunning visualizations and important insights to provide the information you need without pouring through endless tables of data. We partnered with organizations statewide to build these tools to focus on topics that impact our communities and increase access to critical information that will propel your work.
Not only do we have the data, CTData can teach you how to use it. Our new CTData Academy page offers a menu of opportunities to build your data skills. We even facilitate customized training tailored to your organization’s development! Through our Data Strategic Planning, we can dig deeper into your organization’s data to assess your needs and advance your goals.
At CTData, we believe data isn’t just for analysts or researchers. Data is for everybody—it drives decisions that improves both our lives and the communities we belong to. Our new website makes data easier than ever to find and use, so you spend less time looking for the answer and more time solving the problem. Start your search today at ctdata.org, and let us know what you think!
As if our new look wasn’t enough, we have another exciting update! CTData has been nominated for the 2020 CT Entrepreneur Awards under the education category.
