This VISTA will also expand how we share data with our community. The VISTA will develop valuable data analysis skills by learning how databases are structured, and how to use Microsoft Power BI software and using it to create data dashboards. Our data dashboards are used by a range of government and nonprofit organizations, and this VISTA will identify new ways to analyze our data so that it can be useful for the public.
