Data Leadership Programme Dates for 2023
This is four-month course that begins in mid-September and runs until December. It combines in-person and remote sessions to cover themes like data governance and strategy, innovations in data and AI, recruiting diverse data talent and much more.
The programme is not technical and it is not industry-specific. It is for leaders who know that data represents a key opportunity but who wonder what data can achieve for them, and what their next steps are.

Hello,
I am having issues enrolling, and cannot submit my application. The website states that registration is open until 18th August, however on logging on to complete my application (17th Aug), I am provided with a note that applications for this grant are now closed.
Please could you help, as I would like to register?
Hello Andrew,
We’re sorry you weren’t able to get your application in to us. Our annoncement specified that applicants would be notified about whether their application had been successful by the 18th August, unfortunatley, this was not the cut off date. Our application form was removed yesterday morning to allow applicants as much time as possible, but also allow proper application review. We have passed your comment on to our Highlands & Islands team Business Team to ensure they are aware – you can also speak to our team at dataleaders@thedatalab.com
