Build Data Skills in Your Community: Become a Carpentries Partner

Build Data Skills Where You Work Modern research, teaching, and professional practice increasingly rely on data and computational skills. Yet many people are asked to work with code, data, and collaborative technologies without formal training. The Carpentries helps address this gap. Through hands-on workshops, Instructor training, and collaborative lesson development, our global community supports organisations in building practical skills for working with data and code while fostering a culture of open, reproducible research.

What does The Carpentries actually do?

We help researchers build practical data and computational skills and we train people to teach those skills to others.

That approach has helped grow a global community:
• 5,405 𝐜𝐞𝐫𝐭𝐢𝐟𝐢𝐞𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫𝐬
• 185 𝐈𝐧𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐮𝐜𝐭𝐨𝐫 𝐓𝐫𝐚𝐢𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐬
• 4,965 𝐰𝐨𝐫𝐤𝐬𝐡𝐨𝐩𝐬 𝐭𝐚𝐮𝐠𝐡𝐭 𝐢𝐧 72 𝐜𝐨𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐞𝐬.

But the real impact is personal.

“Changed my career trajectory in a very positive way.”

“It has made me a more confident instructor of coding and coding-adjacent skills.”
— 𝘋𝘳. 𝘈𝘮𝘢𝘯𝘥𝘢 𝘒𝘪𝘴, 𝘓𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘶𝘳𝘦𝘳, 𝘜𝘯𝘪𝘷𝘦𝘳𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘺 𝘰𝘧 𝘖𝘬𝘭𝘢𝘩𝘰𝘮𝘢

Our new Partnership Program helps organisations support these kinds of outcomes through workshops, instructor training, lesson development, and community building.

Stories from The Carpentries Community: Why Skill-Building, Teaching, and Community Matter for Open Science

A Community Teaching Data Skills for Open Science The Carpentries is a global community dedicated to teaching foundational data and computational skills for research and professional practice. Our programs help people work more effectively with data, code, and software while supporting open, reproducible science. Today, the community includes: 5,405 certified Instructors 185 Instructor Trainers 4,965 workshops taught in 72 countries But these numbers only tell part of the story. The real impact of The Carpentries comes from the people who teach, learn, and collaborate through our programs. Through our Partnership program, organisations join a global network focused on building local capacity for teaching data skills.

Our impact starts with people. Behind every Carpentries workshop is a community of Instructor Trainers, Instructors, Maintainers, and many other contributors working together to build data and computational skills worldwide. 🌍

Instructor Trainers prepare new Instructors in evidence-based teaching practices. Those Instructors then teach workshops that reach hundreds of learners. That’s the multiplier effect at the heart of The Carpentries.

Our People, Our Impact: How The Carpentries Community Multiplies Skills Worldwide

Our People, Our Impact The impact of The Carpentries has always been rooted in people. Across universities, research institutes, libraries, and organisations around the world, community members are working together to build capacity for teaching foundational data and computational skills. At the center of this work are the people who teach, maintain, and build community around the programs that make our workshops possible. They then go on to introduce The Carpentries to other individuals at their institutions and empower them with the same skills. This is where the multiplier effect begins - one of the main benefits of an institutional Partnership with the Carpentries.

✨ What a week at #RSECon25 at the University of Warwick! ✨

I got to meet and connect with three communities close to my heart:
💜 #RLadies
💻 #RSEng
📚 #TheCarpentries

This year I wasn’t just attending—I also volunteered 🪄. Such a joy to give back and be part of the buzz.

Next year it’s #RSECon26 in Sheffield 🎉 — who’s coming? Drop a 🐧 if you’ll be there!
