Statistical Education as Part of the Digital Transformation of Statistical Offices

National Statistical Institutes agencies are faced with growing opportunities and challenges from the ongoing digital revolution. This chapter considers the cooperation among academic, public, and private sector entities to further develop statistical skills to make effective use of the newly available data. Such cooperation offers opportunities for better understanding and learning from each other about best practices. This chapter specifically focuses on the European Master of Official Statistics (EMOS), a degree program to prepare students for roles in data analysis and also a knowledge network of official data producers and universities working together to develop best practices and skilled analysts. It also describes the approaches and experiences of the Federal Statistical Office of Germany (Destatis).
